Extract Fan Repair in Brunswick
One call covers repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts in Brunswick: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- An extract fan that has stopped working
What we are called out for in Brunswick
Not every problem is mechanical. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
If you cook near Brighton station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.

Extract fan repair in Brunswick
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. Typical jobs include a fan shaking on its mountings and a whining or grinding extract motor, across fan housings, bearings and fan motors.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Brunswick often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer, and we will explain the options.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
What affects the quote in Brunswick
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Brunswick
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Fan motors
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Brunswick, so let us know how to reach it.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Extract fan repair around Brunswick
Brunswick is within about 1 mile of the coast. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 749 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 135 takeaways in and around Brunswick, up to about a mile and a half out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. In Brunswick, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Brighton and Hove council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as St Mary Magdalen Catholic Primary School, rather than mid-term. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Stephen's Church or elsewhere in Brunswick, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

FAQs for Brunswick
Do you work in villages like Brunswick?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work overnight in Brunswick?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Leave it or put it right?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
