About our extract fan repair in Shoreham
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. Common call-outs are for a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a fan rattling in its housing, across fan housings, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys.
In a village or hamlet like Shoreham, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Shoreham
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Kent. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. For a village or hamlet like Shoreham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Questions from Shoreham
Do you cover smaller places like Shoreham?
Yes. Shoreham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Shoreham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Shoreham can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
What extract fan repair looks like in Shoreham
Look up Shoreham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Shoreham. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Shoreham are the job of Sevenoaks council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. Shoreham is about 16 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere around Shoreham, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. If you cook near Shoreham (Kent) station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early. For school kitchens, at schools like Shoreham Village School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

What happens if it’s left?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. A fault that closes a site in a village like Shoreham affects everyone who depends on it.
