Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Broomershill
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: 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 roof and wall fans, fan housings and fan motors, and the jobs we see most are weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a squealing belt on start-up.
In a small place like Broomershill, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Broomershill
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Broomershill?
Food hygiene inspections in Broomershill are carried out by Horsham council. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Broomershill?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Broomershill is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. If repair is not sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
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 you keep your normal hours.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you recommend a next date?
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, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
What we do, step by step
We turn up 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 the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. For a village or hamlet like Broomershill, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

What extract fan repair looks like in Broomershill
Food Standards Agency data counts about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Broomershill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. At about 41 miles from central London, Broomershill sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Broomershill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Broomershill, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. For school kitchens, at schools like St Mary's Church of England Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we will tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
Where we work
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
What happens if it’s left?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
How we price extract fan repair
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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 pictures, so each one has its own record.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
