Extract fan repair in Furner's Green
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we will say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you have an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a humming noise from the fan motor, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and fan housings onwards.
In a small place like Furner's Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What we are called out for in Furner's Green
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind, and if they’re left they can seize.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
For school kitchens, at schools like Danehill Church of England Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
How we price extract fan repair
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Furner's Green
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Somewhere as small as Furner's Green, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
