Extract fan repair in Radfield
Across Radfield, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. If you are dealing with a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a fan that whines, hums or grinds, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Radfield, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Do you need extract fan repair in Radfield?
Not every problem is mechanical. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An old fan that needs replacing
If you manage a school such as Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When the next visit should be, and why
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.

When a fan fails in Radfield
The coast is only about 3 miles from Radfield. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Radfield. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Food hygiene inspections in Radfield are the job of Swale council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Lawrence, or anywhere in Radfield, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. For a takeaway near Teynham station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Radfield run smoothly.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about parking and loading

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Radfield: your questions answered
Can sea air affect extract fan repair in Radfield?
It can. Radfield is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Can you get to a site in Radfield?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Radfield is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Will the kitchen have to stop cooking while you work?
While we are working on the fan, the extract is isolated. Evening, overnight and weekend visits keep disruption down so you don’t lose trade.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
