Extract fans in Henfield
Look up Henfield on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 8 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Henfield and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Food hygiene inspections in Henfield are the job of Horsham council’s environmental health team. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. We cover Henfield, about 40 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Peter's Church, or anywhere in Henfield, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Henfield
Wherever your kitchen is in Henfield, 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 a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. If you’re dealing with a worn or slipping fan belt and a motor that trips out or overheats, we can help, from roof and wall fans, fan housings and kitchen extract fans onwards.
In a place like Henfield, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired, and we’ll explain the options.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

Do you need extract fan repair in Henfield?
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A dead fan motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan rattling in its housing
For school kitchens, at schools like St Peter's CofE Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Henfield
Which environmental health team covers Henfield?
In Henfield, it’s Horsham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you work overnight in Henfield?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Henfield doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
What else we do in Henfield
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
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.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Henfield
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Henfield can typically be finished without a second trip.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Managing agents and facilities teams in Henfield
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
When it’s something else
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
