Extract fan repair in High Hurstwood
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we’ll say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you’re dealing with a failed fan that needs a replacement and a worn or slipping fan belt, we can help, from bearings, belts and pulleys and fan housings onwards.
Somewhere as small as High Hurstwood, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, 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.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
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.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.

Why act early in High Hurstwood
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. If the system at a site near High Hurstwood fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Trading since 2009
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Full insurance on every job

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How we price extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like High Hurstwood.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

High Hurstwood: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers High Hurstwood?
Food hygiene inspections in High Hurstwood are carried out by Wealden council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can you get to a site in High Hurstwood?
Yes, High Hurstwood is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We will point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do we need to close the kitchen for fan work?
We need the extract switched off during the repair, so cooking under the canopy has to stop. We book the work outside your service times wherever possible.
Do you need extract fan repair in High Hurstwood?
Kitchen extract fans in High Hurstwood face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A humming noise from the fan motor
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in High Hurstwood, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
