How we handle extract fan repair in Ashurst Wood
Grease and fans don’t mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. If you are dealing with a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a fan that won’t start at all, we can help, from fan motors, kitchen extract fans and fan housings onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Ashurst Wood, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A fan that’s 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.
Extract fans in Ashurst Wood
Look up Ashurst Wood on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 25 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Ashurst Wood. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. In Ashurst Wood, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. Ashurst Wood, about 27 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Ashurst Wood Primary School, rather than mid-term.

Ashurst Wood: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Ashurst Wood?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Ashurst Wood is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Ashurst Wood?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Ashurst Wood is within the area we cover. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How far ahead should we book?
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 the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Ashurst Wood can be planned properly.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Get a fixed quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.

Do you need extract fan repair in Ashurst Wood?
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind, and if they’re left they can seize.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Dunstan or elsewhere in Ashurst Wood, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
Comparing quotes
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What affects the quote in Ashurst Wood
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
