Extract fan repair in Brighton Hill
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Brighton Hill, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. If you are dealing with a worn or slipping fan belt and an overheating extract motor, we can put it right.
In a place like Brighton Hill, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

FAQs for Brighton Hill
Which environmental health team covers Brighton Hill?
In Brighton Hill, it’s Basingstoke and Deane council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can the work in Brighton Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Brighton Hill needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we will tell you the reasons.
How long will the fan be out of action?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. You’ll know more once we’ve found the fault.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Extract fan repair in Brighton Hill: local notes
There are about 51 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 29 takeaways and sandwich shops in Brighton Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. It’s Basingstoke and Deane council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Brighton Hill. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. Brighton Hill, about 47 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Hall kitchens near The Church Of Christ The King, or anywhere around Brighton Hill, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

When to call us in Brighton Hill
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- Poor airflow at the canopy
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Brighton Hill Community School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, 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 are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a smaller place like Brighton Hill, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by 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. We usually come back within one working day.
Advice
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Part by part
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
What happens if it’s left?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you’re busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Booking now means the visit to Brighton Hill is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.

What a clean will not put right

- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
