Questions from Ashurst
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Ashurst?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Ashurst is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Who inspects food businesses in Ashurst?
Kitchens in Ashurst are inspected by Wealden council’s environmental health officers. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.

Why act early in Ashurst
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. If the system at a site near Ashurst fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Report new noises from the fan early
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

What else we do in Ashurst
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease on it throws it out of balance and make it shake.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, and we clear up before we go. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Ashurst.
- 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.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
