Extract fan repair in Broyle Side, done properly
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. The work covers kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and fan motors, and the jobs we see most are a fan that keeps cutting out and a fan that whines, hums or grinds.
In a village or hamlet like Broyle Side, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

FAQs for Broyle Side
Do you work in villages like Broyle Side?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Broyle Side included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you cover Broyle Side for emergency fan repairs?
Broyle Side is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will arrange a diagnosis.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that’s the cause, we’ll say so and explain what we found.
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
What extract fan repair looks like in Broyle Side
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Broyle Side 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. Broyle Side, about 42 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Environmental health officers from Lewes council inspect food businesses in Broyle Side. 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.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Ringmer Community College and Sixth Form, fix a failing fan before term starts.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
When to call us in Broyle Side
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An overheating extract motor
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
Hall kitchens near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere around Broyle Side, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

How we price extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Broyle Side can be planned properly.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
