FAQs for Sandwich Bay Estate
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Sandwich Bay Estate out of hours?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Sandwich Bay Estate is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Do you work at weekends in Sandwich Bay Estate?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Sandwich Bay Estate can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, 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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
How much time does a fan repair need?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. We will give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Why act early in Sandwich Bay Estate
A fan that is running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. In a small place like Sandwich Bay Estate, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Why book with us
- We’re fully insured
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

What else we do in Sandwich Bay Estate
Extract fans in Sandwich Bay Estate
Sea air reaches Sandwich Bay Estate, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. Food hygiene inspections in Sandwich Bay Estate are the job of Dover council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
What a clean won’t put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
When to call us in Sandwich Bay Estate
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A dead fan motor
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Sir Roger Manwood's School, rather than mid-term.
