What affects the quote in East Harting
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Extract fan repair in East Harting
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. If you’re dealing with a motor that trips out or overheats and a dead fan motor, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like East Harting, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, 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.

FAQs for East Harting
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in East Harting out of hours?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and East Harting is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do you work overnight in East Harting?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in East Harting can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What’s TR19?
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 law, but it’s the benchmark.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How long will the fan be out of action?
It depends on the fault, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We’ll give you a better idea once we have diagnosed it.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Signs you need extract fan repair in East Harting
Fans everywhere, East Harting included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Harting CofE Primary School, rather than mid-term.

- What hours they’ll be on site
Part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near East Harting, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
