Extract fan repair in Burgh Hill, done properly
Grease and fans don’t mix. 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. We are often asked to deal with a knocking noise from the extract fan and an old fan that needs replacing, on fan motors, fan housings and kitchen extract fans.
For a fan repair in or near Burgh Hill, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
How we price extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Burgh Hill
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere as small as Burgh Hill, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Burgh Hill questions
Do you cover Burgh Hill for emergency fan repairs?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Burgh Hill is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Can the work in Burgh Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Burgh Hill can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How much time does a fan repair need?
A typical repair takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered including running the fan afterwards. We’ll fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What happens if it’s left?
In Burgh Hill, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

What extract fan repair looks like in Burgh Hill
Look up Burgh Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Burgh Hill 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. About 41 miles out from central London, Burgh Hill is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. It’s Rother council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Burgh Hill. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
Hall kitchens near Holy Trinity, or anywhere around Burgh Hill, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. For school kitchens, at schools like Etchingham Church of England Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. If you run a kitchen close to Etchingham station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.
