Extract fan repair in St Mary in the Marsh
Grease and fans don’t mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. The work covers fan motors, bearings and kitchen extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a worn or slipping fan belt and a humming noise from the fan motor.
For a fan repair in or near St Mary in the Marsh, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
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.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
Common questions in St Mary in the Marsh
Which environmental health team covers St Mary in the Marsh?
The local authority for St Mary in the Marsh is Folkestone and Hythe council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Do you work at weekends in St Mary in the Marsh?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in St Mary in the Marsh does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
Why deal with it now?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Extract fans in St Mary in the Marsh
The coast is only about 2 miles from St Mary in the Marsh. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. Kitchens in St Mary in the Marsh get their food hygiene inspections from Folkestone and Hythe council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. About 56 miles out from central London, St Mary in the Marsh is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere around St Mary in the Marsh, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
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.

Managing agents and facilities teams in St Mary in the Marsh
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
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.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to St Mary in the Marsh and turn up when the site is quiet.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
