What extract fan repair can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
How we handle extract fan repair in Burgh Heath
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. 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. We are often asked to deal with poor airflow at the canopy and a squealing belt on start-up, across fan housings, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys.
In a village or hamlet like Burgh Heath, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.

Questions from Burgh Heath
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Burgh Heath at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Burgh Heath is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do you work at weekends in Burgh Heath?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Burgh Heath can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs before recommending a unit.
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.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Repair is always our starting point. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer and we’ll tell you the reasons.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off.

- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.

Advice
Common problems we fix in Burgh Heath
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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
For school kitchens, at schools like Aberdour School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in Burgh Heath gets to the real cause. Somewhere as small as Burgh Heath, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
