Why act early in Haywards Heath
In Haywards Heath, 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. A fresh certificate on file is the best thing to have when someone asks to see your records.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Why us?
- We diagnose before we treat
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- We’re fully insured

About our extract fan repair in Haywards Heath
Wherever your kitchen is in Haywards Heath, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you’re cooking. We are often asked to deal with an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a fan that won’t start at all, on bearings, belts and pulleys and fan housings.
For a pub, café or takeaway in a town like Haywards Heath, no extract fan means no cooking. Our 24/7 emergency callout is there for exactly that, with repair or replacement planned from what we find.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
Common problems we fix in Haywards Heath
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that won’t start isn’t always a dead motor.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of the Presentation, or anywhere in Haywards Heath, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What paperwork you get at the end
- 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
Your questions about extract fan repair in Haywards Heath
Do you work at weekends in Haywards Heath?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Haywards Heath keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Haywards Heath?
In Haywards Heath, it’s Mid Sussex council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Often it makes sense to do both. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
It can be one of a few things, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
What affects the quote in Haywards Heath
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Need a price for extract fan repair? Please ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Send us pictures of the system and we can plan most of a visit in Haywards Heath before we arrive.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- 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.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

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.
Advice
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Extract fan repair in Haywards Heath: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 53 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 15 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Haywards Heath. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council inspect food businesses in Haywards Heath. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. About 35 miles out from central London, Haywards Heath is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you manage a school such as Warden Park Primary Academy and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. If you run a kitchen close to Haywards Heath station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.
