Extract fan repair in Abingworth, done properly
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. Typical jobs include a motor that trips out or overheats and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, across bearings, roof and wall fans and fan housings.
A callout to a small place like Abingworth goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning will not help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
Questions from Abingworth
Can you come to Abingworth after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Abingworth?
Abingworth is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible, and we will explain why.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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 many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.

Why it’s worth doing now in Abingworth
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. With notice, the visit to Abingworth can be fitted around your bookings and events.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

Extract fan repair in Abingworth: local notes
At about 41 miles from central London, Abingworth sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Food hygiene inspections in Abingworth are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Abingworth, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Thakeham Primary School, rather than mid-term.
Abingworth is about 8 miles north of Worthing, in West Sussex.

What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. In a small place like Abingworth, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
