Extract fan repair in Cowfold, done properly
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we will say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you are dealing with an overheating extract motor and poor airflow at the canopy, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Cowfold, 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.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes, so we ask about it early.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.
Cowfold: your questions answered
Can you get to a site in Cowfold?
Yes, Cowfold is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Cowfold?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Cowfold is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
How long will the fan be out of action?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. We will give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that is one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.

What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Cowfold and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
How we price extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Honest limits
We won’t 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
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
