About our extract fan repair in Bodle Street Green
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan housings and bearings, and people most often call us about a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a belt-driven fan that squeals.
In a small place like Bodle Street Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Bodle Street Green
Is Bodle Street Green within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bodle Street Green is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you cover Bodle Street Green for emergency fan repairs?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Bodle Street Green is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
When a fan fails in Bodle Street Green
Bodle Street Green, about 45 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Environmental health officers from Wealden council inspect food businesses in Bodle Street Green. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Bodle Street Green, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. For kitchens in and around Bodle Street Green, our emergency line runs 24/7.

What affects the quote in Bodle Street Green
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bodle Street Green
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. With notice, the visit to Bodle Street Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Bodle Street Green.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
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, with a certificate and photo report.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
