About our extract fan repair in Crowhurst
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. We’re often asked to deal with a belt-driven fan that squeals and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, on kitchen extract fans, fan motors and belts and pulleys.
In a small place like Crowhurst, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Why it’s worth doing now in Crowhurst
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. With notice, the visit to Crowhurst can be fitted around your bookings and events.
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 play a part.

Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
When to call us in Crowhurst
Kitchen extract fans in Crowhurst face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St George, or anywhere in Crowhurst, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician

FAQs for Crowhurst
Which council inspects kitchens in Crowhurst?

Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Crowhurst?

Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?

Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will arrange a diagnosis.

- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
