Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Throwley
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you have weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a knocking noise from the extract fan, we can help, from fan housings, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans onwards.
Somewhere as small as Throwley, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that will not start is not always a failed motor.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
What happens if it’s left?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Somewhere as small as Throwley, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Throwley.
- 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.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive

How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Questions from Throwley
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Throwley?
The local authority for Throwley is Swale council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you cover Throwley for emergency fan repairs?
Day or night, a failed fan in Throwley can be reported on our emergency line. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
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 will explain why.
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 emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Multi-site and managed buildings
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, 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.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Kent. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Throwley
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

About 44 miles out from central London, Throwley is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Swale council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Throwley. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
