Extract fan repair in Sevenscore, done properly
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. The work covers fan motors, belts and pulleys and fan housings, and people most often call us about a squealing belt on start-up and a fan that whines, hums or grinds.
In a small place like Sevenscore, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Extract fans in Sevenscore
Sea air reaches Sevenscore, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air is hard on fan housings, motors and fixings on roofs and outside walls. Food Standards Agency records list about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways across Sevenscore and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Sevenscore are the job of Thanet council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you run a café or takeaway near Thanet Parkway station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Mary or elsewhere in Sevenscore, can seize between uses.

Questions from Sevenscore
Do you cover smaller places like Sevenscore?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Sevenscore included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Sevenscore?
Kitchens in Sevenscore are inspected by Thanet council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that’s one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we will tell you the reasons.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Sevenscore
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a small place like Sevenscore, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option and we will talk you through it.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. With notice, the visit to Sevenscore can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
