Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Herstmonceux gets to the real cause. Somewhere as small as Herstmonceux, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.

Herstmonceux questions
Do you work at weekends in Herstmonceux?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Herstmonceux keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Herstmonceux?
Kitchens in Herstmonceux are inspected by Wealden council’s environmental health officers. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.

What else we do in Herstmonceux
What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. Access affects how long a repair takes and we plan around it.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Clean or change filters on schedule
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Herstmonceux
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.

- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work

- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Honest limits
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
