How we handle extract fan repair in Furnace Green
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. Typical jobs include a fan that won’t start at all and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, on bearings, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans.
A callout to a place like Furnace Green is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, based on what you tell us about the fan.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Furnace Green
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Around Furnace Green, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.

What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.

Part by part
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and cause vibration.
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself and then recommend the fix.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
Do you need extract fan repair in Furnace Green?
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
Clients typically contact us when they notice something like this:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A dead fan motor
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
Hall kitchens near St Andrew's Church, or anywhere around Furnace Green, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

When a fan fails in Furnace Green
There are about 32 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 20 takeaways and sandwich shops in Furnace Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. It’s Crawley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Furnace Green. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.

How we price extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels

- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises

What we do, step by step
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Your opening hours decide when we come to Furnace Green, not ours.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
