How we handle extract fan repair in Burwash
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan housings and bearings, and the jobs we see most are poor airflow at the canopy and a motor that trips out or overheats.
Somewhere as small as Burwash, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Burwash: your questions answered
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Burwash at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Burwash can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Which environmental health team covers Burwash?
The local authority for Burwash is Rother council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Typically, a fan repair takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. If parts have to be ordered, we’ll tell you how long that’s likely to be.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking and we can plan the two together.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
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.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Somewhere like Burwash, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
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. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.

How we price extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in Burwash gets to the real cause. A fault that closes a site in a village like Burwash affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.

Common problems we fix in Burwash
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan that will not start at all
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- Poor airflow at the canopy
For school kitchens, at schools like Burwash CofE School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that won’t start is not always a failed motor.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
