Extract fan repair in Sheerness
Across Sheerness, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. If you are dealing with a failed fan that needs a replacement and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, we can put it right.
Around a place like Sheerness, a pub, café or care home kitchen with a failed fan cannot carry on cooking as normal. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Sheerness: your questions answered
Can you work in Sheerness outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Sheerness needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan repair in Sheerness?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Sheerness gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

What else we do in Sheerness
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. For a place like Sheerness, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- 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
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading

Related advice
When to call us in Sheerness
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind, and if they’re left they can seize.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that keeps cutting out
If you run a café or takeaway near Sheerness-On-Sea station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.

For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Sheerness
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sheerness
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Sheerness gets to the real cause. A planned visit to Sheerness fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- Each visit written up, with photos
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- In business since 2009

What extract fan repair looks like in Sheerness
Sea air reaches Sheerness, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air is hard on fan housings, motors and fixings on roofs and outside walls. Food Standards Agency data counts about 37 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 28 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Sheerness. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. It’s Swale council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Sheerness. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Rose Street Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Parish Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Sheerness, can seize between uses.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
