Extract fan repair in Heyshott Green
If an extract fan in Heyshott Green is struggling or has stopped, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. The work covers kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys, and common reasons people get in touch are a whining or grinding extract motor and a belt-driven fan that squeals.
In a small place like Heyshott 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.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Heyshott Green
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Heyshott Green and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- 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.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
Heyshott Green: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Heyshott Green?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Heyshott Green?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Heyshott Green is part of our area. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Heyshott Green
Fans everywhere, Heyshott Green included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Midhurst Rother College, fix a failing fan before term starts.
What to look for in a quote
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Proof of insurance
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Why deal with it now?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. It’s simpler to plan the work at Heyshott Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
