About our extract fan repair in St Mary Hoo
Across St Mary Hoo, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. We’re often asked to deal with a fan rattling in its housing and a whining or grinding extract motor, on bearings, fan housings and roof and wall fans.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do 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. For a village or hamlet like St Mary Hoo, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work

Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
Why deal with it now?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. It’s simpler to plan the work at St Mary Hoo now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in St Mary Hoo
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions

- Travel, parking and unloading
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
FAQs for St Mary Hoo
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in St Mary Hoo?
In St Mary Hoo, it’s Medway council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can you come to St Mary Hoo after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in St Mary Hoo needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
It can be one of a few things, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
