Extract fan repair in Burwash Common, done properly
Working on a fan in Burwash Common means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. Typical jobs include poor airflow at the canopy and a knocking noise from the extract fan, on bearings, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Why deal with it now?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Burwash Common
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Burwash Common and across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Burwash Common can be planned properly.
- 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.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Burwash Common questions
Will you come out to Burwash Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Burwash Common?
Kitchens in Burwash Common are inspected by Rother council’s environmental health officers. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work, and we will explain the options.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
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.
Who do we call if the fan stops in the middle of cooking?
We run a 24/7 emergency callout for exactly this. We will take the details and get an engineer to you as quickly as possible.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Part by part
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
