- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

Extract fan repair in Throwley Forstal, done properly
Kitchens in Throwley Forstal call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan motors and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are a squealing belt on start-up and a dead fan motor.
In a village or hamlet like Throwley Forstal, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault and then recommend the fix.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that won’t start is not always a failed motor.
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Do you need extract fan repair in Throwley Forstal?
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that’s a common source of rattles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An old fan that needs replacing
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Throwley Forstal, can seize between uses.

Questions from Throwley Forstal
Which council inspects kitchens in Throwley Forstal?
Kitchens in Throwley Forstal are inspected by Swale council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Throwley Forstal?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Throwley Forstal is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Somewhere as small as Throwley Forstal, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
