About our extract fan repair in Bexhill-on-Sea
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. If you have an extract fan that has stopped working and a motor that trips out or overheats, we can put it right.
The usual signs are a noisy fan, poor extraction or a hot, smoky kitchen. Catching those signs early in Bexhill-on-Sea means the repair can be planned around service.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

When to call us in Bexhill-on-Sea
In Bexhill-on-Sea, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
What we are most often called out for:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A dead fan motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A motor that trips out or overheats
For school kitchens, at schools like King Offa Primary Academy for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
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.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When a fan fails in Bexhill-on-Sea
The coast is only about 1 mile from Bexhill-on-Sea. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. Food Standards Agency records list about 95 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 29 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bexhill-on-Sea. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. It’s Rother council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bexhill-on-Sea. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
For a takeaway near Bexhill station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

Different parts, different methods

Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that’s the cause, we will say so and explain what we found.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Bexhill-on-Sea
Can sea air affect extract fan repair in Bexhill-on-Sea?
It can, as Bexhill-on-Sea is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Who inspects food businesses in Bexhill-on-Sea?
In Bexhill-on-Sea, it’s Rother council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Is there help out of hours when the extract fails?
Call our 24/7 emergency line. We will talk it through with you and arrange to attend as soon as we can.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We arrive in Bexhill-on-Sea once you’ve closed and leave the site ready for the morning.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
