Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Adversane
Kitchens in Adversane call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. We’re often asked to deal with an overheating extract motor and an old fan that needs replacing, on roof and wall fans, bearings and kitchen extract fans.
In a small place like Adversane, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.

Why it’s worth doing now in Adversane
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. In a place like Adversane, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why us?
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Every job surveyed first
- Photo reports with every job

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Adversane
Fans everywhere, Adversane included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as The Weald School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
What to look for in a quote

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Adversane
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Part by part
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
When something else is needed
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Bearings
- Fan housings

Your questions about extract fan repair in Adversane
Do you cover smaller places like Adversane?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Adversane is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which environmental health team covers Adversane?
Food hygiene inspections in Adversane are carried out by Horsham council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that’s one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we will tell you the reasons.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Adversane.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
