About our extract fan repair in Ramsgate
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. If you’re dealing with a dead fan motor and a belt-driven fan that squeals, we can help.
Extract fans on buildings in towns like Ramsgate are often on a flat roof or an outside wall, where they take the weather as well as the grease. In time, belts, bearings and motors wear.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Part by part
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that won’t start isn’t always a failed motor.
Why deal with it now?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. Dealt with now, it’s a planned visit around your hours rather than a callout when the site needs to be open.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

What staff can safely do
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Photos taken on a phone are usually enough for us to plan a job in Ramsgate and give a fixed quote.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

How we price extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see

Your questions about extract fan repair in Ramsgate
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Ramsgate out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in Ramsgate can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Can the work in Ramsgate be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Ramsgate needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
That depends on what we find. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic, then give you a fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
What extract fan repair looks like in Ramsgate
The coast is only about 1 mile from Ramsgate. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. There are about 97 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 57 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Ramsgate, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Environmental health officers from Thanet council inspect food businesses in Ramsgate. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
For kitchens close to Ramsgate station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. For school kitchens, at schools like Priory Infant School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Luke's Church or elsewhere in Ramsgate, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
