Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Sturry
If an extract fan in Sturry is struggling or has stopped, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are an overheating extract motor and an extract fan that has stopped working.
In a smaller place like Sturry, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Sturry, so let us know how to reach it.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- 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.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
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. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
What affects the quote in Sturry
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Extract fan repair in Sturry: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways in Sturry and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Food hygiene inspections in Sturry are the job of Canterbury City council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. Sturry, about 54 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Nicholas' Church or elsewhere in Sturry, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. For school kitchens, at schools like Sturry Church of England Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. If you run a kitchen close to Sturry station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.

Extract fan repair in CT2 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Whether your site is on High Street, Park View and Link Road or a nearby road, we can help. If your site is just outside Sturry, we cover Broad Oak (1 mile west), Westbere (1 mile east), Calcott (1 mile north), Hersden (2 miles east) and Hicks Forstal (2 miles north). Within a short drive, we also cover Canterbury (3 miles south-west), Margate (12 miles north-east), Dover (14 miles south-east), Folkestone (15 miles south), Ramsgate (13 miles east) and Broadstairs (14 miles east).
Near you in Sturry
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Frank Montgomery School, Chequer's Wood and Old Park and The Swan Inn and the streets around them. Sturry has its own railway station: Sturry station. Nearby you’ll also find Canterbury Roman Museum (2.6 miles south-west) and St Martins Hospital (2.1 miles south). For a walk, there’s West Blean and Thornden Woods.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Sturry
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Common questions in Sturry
Will you come out to Sturry?
Yes, Sturry is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Sturry at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Sturry is within the area we cover. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
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.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
