Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
Noise is usually the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
How we handle extract fan repair in Faygate
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 will not start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. Typical jobs include a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a whining or grinding extract motor, on fan housings, belts and pulleys and bearings.
A callout to a small place like Faygate goes better when we know what we are looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Questions from Faygate
Do you work in villages like Faygate?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Faygate included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who inspects food businesses in Faygate?
Food hygiene inspections in Faygate are carried out by Horsham council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise usually comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults, and we diagnose it on site.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, 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 recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Extract fans in Faygate
At about 29 miles from central London, Faygate sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Faygate. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you run a kitchen close to Faygate station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Francis' Church, or anywhere in Faygate, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Faygate is about 3 miles north-east of Horsham, in West Sussex. Sites in Faygate get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with pictures. 371 places in West Sussex are on our list, large and small. Our Guildford page covers sites nearby, about 17 miles away.
Every address in RH12 is covered for extract fan repair, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Whether your site is on Station Approach, Faygate Lane and Durrants Drive or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work. If your site is just outside Faygate, we cover Kilnwood Vale (1 mile east), Colgate (1 mile south-east), Roffey (2 miles south-west), Broadfield (2 miles east) and Mannings Heath (4 miles south). Further out, we also cover Crawley (3 miles east), Horsham (3 miles south-west), Haywards Heath (10 miles south-east), Burgess Hill (11 miles south-east), East Grinstead (11 miles east) and Storrington (15 miles south-west).
Around Faygate
Around Faygate, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Target Hill Park and The Holmbush Inn and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Faygate itself: Faygate station. A little further out are Crawley Hospital (3.2 miles north-east) and County Mall (3.6 miles east). For a walk, there’s Warnham LNR and Tilgate Lake.
Common problems we fix in Faygate
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A dead fan motor
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Holy Trinity CofE Secondary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you will receive afterwards
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
Why deal with it now?
In Faygate, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- A written report with photos after each visit
- We diagnose before we treat
- Trading since 2009
- We’re fully insured
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Faygate can be planned properly.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
