Extract fan repair in Dragons Green, done properly
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. If you’re dealing with an old fan that needs replacing and a fan that whines, hums or grinds, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Dragons Green, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

What happens on the day
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Dragons Green can be planned properly.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Common questions in Dragons Green
Do you work overnight in Dragons Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Dragons Green can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which environmental health team covers Dragons Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Dragons Green are carried out by Horsham council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Do you need extract fan repair in Dragons Green?
Fans everywhere, Dragons Green included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
If you manage a school such as Shipley CofE Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and renew them where necessary.
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs as long as the bearings are still sound.
What affects the quote in Dragons Green
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
