In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Extract fan repair in Broadfield, done properly
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan motors and fan housings, and people most often call us about a whining or grinding extract motor and a squealing belt on start-up.
In a smaller place like Broadfield, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. That is what our 24/7 emergency callout is for.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Extract fan repair around Broadfield
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 36 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 18 sandwich bars and takeaways across Broadfield and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Broadfield, about 28 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Broadfield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Crawley council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you manage a school such as Seymour Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.

Do you need extract fan repair in Broadfield?
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that’s a common source of rattles.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan rattling in its housing
Hall kitchens near Christ The Lord, or anywhere around Broadfield, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Broadfield: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Broadfield?
Kitchens in Broadfield are inspected by Crawley council’s environmental health officers. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can the work in Broadfield be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Broadfield keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Noise usually comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults and we find the exact cause on site.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. A site near Broadfield normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
