East Sussex · Extract fan repair and replacement
Extract fan repair and replacement in Berwick, East Sussex
For extract fan repair in Berwick, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Extract fan repair in Berwick
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we will 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. If you have a failed fan that needs a replacement and a dead fan motor, we can help, from roof and wall fans, fan motors and fan housings onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Berwick, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Extract fan repair in Berwick: local notes
Berwick, about 47 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Berwick. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
For kitchens close to Berwick (Sussex) station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

Berwick questions
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Berwick?
Berwick is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Which council inspects kitchens in Berwick?
The local authority for Berwick is Wealden council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for whichever option you choose.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes, when repair does not make sense. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What we are called out for in Berwick
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan rattling in its housing
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Berwick, can seize between uses.
Comparing quotes
- Whether they recommend a next date
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
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 send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Berwick, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
