West Sussex · Extract fan repair and replacement
Extract fan repair and replacement in Horsham, West Sussex
One call covers repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts in Horsham, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- An old fan that needs replacing
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
Grease on the fan normally means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
Extract fan repair in Horsham
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. Common call-outs are for poor airflow at the canopy and a knocking noise from the extract fan, across fan housings, roof and wall fans and bearings.
Larger buildings in Horsham can have extract fans serving kitchens, washrooms and plant areas. Spotting the signs early means a planned repair rather than an emergency.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Part by part
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that’s the cause, we will say so and explain what we found.
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease on it throws it out of balance and make it shake.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Town-centre sites in a place like Horsham can be tight for parking, so it helps to know the options in advance.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Advice
Signs you need extract fan repair in Horsham
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that is a common source of rattles.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An old fan that needs replacing
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Hope Chapel or elsewhere in Horsham, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether a survey comes first
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- What records you’ll receive afterwards

Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

What extract fan repair looks like in Horsham
Food Standards Agency records list about 60 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 24 takeaways in Horsham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Kitchens in Horsham get their food hygiene inspections from Horsham council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. Horsham is about 31 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you cook near Horsham station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Questions from Horsham
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Horsham?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Horsham is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you work in Horsham outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Horsham needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Why it’s worth doing now in Horsham
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers can all ask for records.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
