About our extract fan repair in Sibertswold
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new 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. Typical jobs include a knocking noise from the extract fan and a failed fan that needs a replacement, across kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys.
In a small place like Sibertswold, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
A written report with photos follows each visit, 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.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Sibertswold and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Sibertswold questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Sibertswold?
Food hygiene inspections in Sibertswold are carried out by Dover council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Can you come to Sibertswold after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Sibertswold needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will arrange a diagnosis.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Sibertswold
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that’s a common source of rattles.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you run a café or takeaway near Shepherds Well station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.
Questions to ask before you book
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether VAT is included

Part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job, so we ask about it early.
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
Extract fan repair in Sibertswold: local notes
Environmental health officers from Dover council inspect food businesses in Sibertswold. 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 look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Sibertswold, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
