Part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. Access affects how long a repair takes, so we ask about it early.
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
How we handle extract fan repair in Burwash Weald
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that is what we will recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. The work covers roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and bearings, and the jobs we see most are a humming noise from the fan motor and an old fan that needs replacing.
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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. The timing of a visit to Burwash Weald is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Who inspects food businesses in Burwash Weald?
In Burwash Weald, it’s Rother council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.

Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. If repair is not sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
