Barcombe Mills questions
Can you get to a site in Barcombe Mills?
Yes, Barcombe Mills is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Barcombe Mills?
Barcombe Mills is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before we start.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Extract fan repair in Barcombe Mills, done properly
Grease and fans do not mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. 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. We’re often asked to deal with poor airflow at the canopy and a whining or grinding extract motor, across belts and pulleys, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.
A callout to a small place like Barcombe Mills goes better when we know what we’re looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Extract fan repair around Barcombe Mills
Food hygiene inspections in Barcombe Mills are the job of Lewes council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. At about 41 miles from central London, Barcombe Mills sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Hall kitchens near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere around Barcombe Mills, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in Barcombe Mills gets to the real cause. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that is the cause, we will say so and explain what we found.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
When to call us in Barcombe Mills
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
If you manage a school such as Barcombe Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
