What happens if it’s left?
Wherever the kitchen is, Ansty included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before it becomes a nuisance. It’s simpler to plan the work at Ansty now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay 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 any work starts, so you know where you stand.

About our extract fan repair in Ansty
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. If you have an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, we can help, from fan motors, roof and wall fans and fan housings onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job and we plan around it.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
Ansty: your questions answered
Is Ansty within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Ansty is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Ansty out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in Ansty are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
We look at repairing it first. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer and we will tell you the reasons.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs before recommending a unit.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Most fan jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault including running the fan afterwards. We plan the work around your service where possible.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we’ve checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. For a village or hamlet like Ansty, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Ansty and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Common problems we fix in Ansty
Not every problem is mechanical. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that keeps cutting out
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Warden Park School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed

Extract fan repair in Ansty: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Ansty and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Kitchens in Ansty get their food hygiene inspections from Mid Sussex council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. About 35 miles out from central London, Ansty is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Ansty, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You’ll hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
