Extract fan repair in Bramber
Kitchens in Bramber call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. We’re often asked to deal with a squealing belt on start-up and a knocking noise from the extract fan, across belts and pulleys, fan housings and kitchen extract fans.
Somewhere as small as Bramber, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Bramber
A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. In a small place like Bramber, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Why Bramber businesses choose us
- We diagnose before we treat
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A fixed price before any work starts
- A written report with photos after each visit

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Belts and pulleys

Your questions about extract fan repair in Bramber
Can you get to a site in Bramber?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Bramber included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Bramber?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Bramber is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
Often, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back and we only recommend replacement when repair doesn’t make sense.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. For a village or hamlet like Bramber, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
How we price extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Extract fan repair in Bramber: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 11 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Bramber, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In Bramber, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. Bramber is about 43 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Upper Beeding Primary School, rather than mid-term. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Bramber, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
