About our extract fan repair in Codmore Hill
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. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. The work covers bearings, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans, and people most often call us about an extract fan that has stopped working and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen.
In a village or hamlet like Codmore Hill, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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.

Why act early in Codmore Hill
A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What you get with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Every visit written up, with pictures
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- One number for every site across the South East and London

What else we do in Codmore Hill
Codmore Hill: your questions answered
Can the work in Codmore Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Codmore Hill?
Extract fan emergencies in Codmore Hill are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Do you need extract fan repair in Codmore Hill?
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as St Mary's Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Codmore Hill knowing what to expect.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Codmore Hill, about 40 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Kitchens in Codmore Hill get their food hygiene inspections from Horsham council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Codmore Hill, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
