Leave it or put it right?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. If the system at a site near Albourne Green fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
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.

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Albourne Green
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. If you are dealing with a failed fan that needs a replacement and a worn or slipping fan belt, we can put it right, from bearings, fan motors and belts and pulleys onwards.
In a small place like Albourne Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What extract fan repair looks like in Albourne Green
There are about 14 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways in and around Albourne Green, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Kitchens in Albourne Green get their food hygiene inspections from Mid Sussex council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. We cover Albourne Green, about 39 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Albourne Green, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.

What else we do in Albourne Green
Part by part
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself before recommending a fix.
How we price extract fan repair
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition of the system
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What types of premises do you cover?

Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.

Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
