How extract fan repair works in East Sussex
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we’ll say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. We’re often asked to deal with an extract fan that has stopped working and a worn or slipping fan belt, on kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and fan housings.
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
What affects the price in East Sussex
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

Near you in Eastbourne
In Eastbourne, that means kitchens and buildings near St Andrew, Princes Park and Stafford Junior School and the streets around them. Nearby too are The King's Arms Public House (0.9 miles south-east), WMG Academy for Young Engineers (1.5 miles south-west) and Ratton School (1.1 miles west). For rail, the closest station is Hampden Park station, roughly 0.7 miles north-west of the centre. Nearby you will also find Pevensey Castle (3 miles north-east) and Royal Sussex Regimental Museum (1 mile south-east). The countryside around Eastbourne includes Combe Hill.
Where we work in East Sussex
Our extract fan repair work across East Sussex takes in places such as Eastbourne, Hastings and Bexhill-on-Sea and well beyond. Every place on our East Sussex list (289 in all) is covered, around the clock for emergencies.
Across London and the South East, we work evenings, overnight and weekends, so sites across East Sussex do not have to lose a day. East Sussex 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 each visit.
Eastbourne: For a takeaway near Hampden Park station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Stafford Junior School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in East Sussex
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
What we’re called out for in East Sussex
In East Sussex, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- An overheating extract motor
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
FAQs for East Sussex
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. Grease on the fan normally means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
