Extract fan repair in Statenborough: local notes
Look up Statenborough on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 15 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Statenborough. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Environmental health officers from Dover council inspect food businesses in Statenborough. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Sandwich Technology School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Extract fan repair in Statenborough
Wherever your kitchen is in Statenborough, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. Typical jobs include an overheating extract motor and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, across bearings, fan motors and roof and wall fans.
In a small place like Statenborough, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

FAQs for Statenborough
Will you come out to Statenborough?
Yes, Statenborough is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Statenborough?
Extract fan emergencies in Statenborough are covered around the clock. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
Repair is always our starting point. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer, and we’ll explain why.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We’ll point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before we start.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Statenborough
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A dead fan motor
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- An overheating extract motor
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St George or elsewhere in Statenborough, can seize between uses.

What affects the quote in Statenborough
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. It’s simpler to plan the work at Statenborough now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What you get with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Photo reports with every job
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself before recommending a fix.
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
