How we handle extract fan repair in Street End
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. If you’re dealing with an overheating extract motor and a squealing belt on start-up, we can help, from bearings, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys onwards.
In a small place like Street End, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Somewhere as small as Street End, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit

What happens if it’s left?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. In a small place like Street End, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts, or the motor itself may be failing.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Street End questions
Who inspects food businesses in Street End?
In Street End, it’s Canterbury City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Is Street End within the area you cover?
Yes, Street End is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How long will the fan be out of action?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. You’ll know more once we’ve found the fault.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
Often it makes sense to do both. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Extract fan repair around Street End
Environmental health officers from Canterbury City council inspect food businesses in Street End. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation.

The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you manage a school such as Simon Langton Grammar School for Boys and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Street End, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
