Extract fan repair in Teynham, done properly
Across Teynham, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. If you have a squealing belt on start-up and poor airflow at the canopy, we can put it right, from fan motors, fan housings and roof and wall fans onwards.
For a fan repair near Teynham, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, so photos of the fan and its rating plate help.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after every visit, 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 the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. In a place like Teynham, we fit the visit around your hours.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, 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.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work

- Belts and pulleys

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Extract fan repair around Teynham
Teynham is within about 3 miles of the coast. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Teynham. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. It’s Swale council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Teynham. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you cook near Teynham station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early. For school kitchens, at schools like Teynham Parochial Church of England Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Teynham
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Teynham at night?
Extract fan emergencies in Teynham are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can sea air affect extract fan repair in Teynham?
It can. Teynham is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Common problems we fix in Teynham
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind, and if they’re left they can seize.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan rattling in its housing
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Teynham, can seize between uses.

Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We’ll tell you if that is what we find so you know who to call.
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
