Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Burstow
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. If you have a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a fan rattling in its housing, we can help.
A callout to a small place like Burstow goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Why act early in Burstow
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Burstow is calmer for everyone.
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 email photos, and we will explain what it covers.

- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Your questions about extract fan repair in Burstow
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Burstow?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Burstow is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Who inspects food businesses in Burstow?
The local authority for Burstow is Crawley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Burstow run smoothly.
- 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 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
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Related advice
What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding typically come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
When a fan fails in Burstow
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 29 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Burstow, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Burstow, about 24 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Food hygiene inspections in Burstow are the job of Crawley council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you manage a school such as Oakwood School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Bartholomew, or anywhere in Burstow, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
