Why deal with it now?
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. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. Somewhere as small as Wanshurst Green, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

- A fan that won’t start at all
If a fan fails in Wanshurst Green at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open.

- How many systems or sites are involved

- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends

Common questions in Wanshurst Green
Which environmental health team covers Wanshurst Green?
In Wanshurst Green, it’s Maidstone council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Wanshurst Green?
Wanshurst Green is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
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, with a certificate and photo report.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. 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 long does an extract fan repair take?
A typical repair takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, including testing. We plan the work around your service where possible.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Never run the extract with filters missing
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.

How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day.

In a small place like Wanshurst Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
