Extract fan repair in Barcombe Cross
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. If you have a humming noise from the fan motor and an extract fan that has stopped working, we can help.
For a fan repair in or near Barcombe Cross, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
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 you book.
Where we work
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
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.
What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Barcombe Cross run smoothly.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Barcombe Cross: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Barcombe Cross?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Barcombe Cross included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work at weekends in Barcombe Cross?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We will tell you if that’s what we find and explain what we found.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Sometimes a clean is all it needs as long as the bearings are still sound.
Why act early in Barcombe Cross
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. A planned visit to Barcombe Cross is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
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 work begins.

- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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.

Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
What we are most often called out for:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
