About extract fan repair in Brighton and Hove
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. We’re often asked to deal with a motor that trips out or overheats and a fan that whines, hums or grinds, on kitchen extract fans, bearings and roof and wall fans.
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed.
- 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.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.

Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Where we work in Brighton and Hove
Fans across Brighton and Hove sit on rooftops, outside walls and in plant rooms. Belts, bearings and motors all wear in the end, faster with grease and weather.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites in Brighton and Hove can keep trading. Brighton and Hove includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of roof-level equipment. Fans and cowls on sea-facing roofs are worth checking at every visit.
Brighton: Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Fairlight Primary School, rather than mid-term. If you run a café or takeaway near London Road (Brighton) station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Why deal with it now?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Brighton and Hove gets to the real cause.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Clean or change filters on schedule
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
Common questions in Brighton and Hove
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Noise usually comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults and we find the exact cause on site.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that can’t wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
