West Sussex · Extract fan repair and replacement
Bolney extract fan repair
Extract fan repair and replacement for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Bolney. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A fan that won’t start at all
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A humming noise from the fan motor
What happens if it’s left?
Wherever the kitchen is, Bolney included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How we handle extract fan repair in Bolney
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Bolney, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. Typical jobs include a fan that won’t start at all and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, across kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and bearings.
Somewhere as small as Bolney, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Bolney.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Advice
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
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. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
When a fan fails in Bolney
Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Bolney. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. In Bolney, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. Bolney, about 35 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Mary Magdalene's Church or elsewhere in Bolney, can seize between uses. If you manage a school such as Bolney CofE Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Bolney is about 4 miles north-west of Burgess Hill, in West Sussex.

We cover 371 places across West Sussex, from busy centres to quieter spots. We also work in Brighton, about 12 miles from Bolney.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.

How we price extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The site address and the type of premises
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Bolney
Do you work at weekends in Bolney?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Bolney can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover Bolney for emergency fan repairs?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Bolney is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
The ductwork is a separate job. We will point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
