Extract fan repair in Horsted Keynes
Grease and fans do not mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. The work covers kitchen extract fans, bearings and fan motors, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan that has stopped working and a whining or grinding extract motor.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Do you need extract fan repair in Horsted Keynes?
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that will not start isn’t always a dead motor.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A worn or slipping fan belt
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Giles' Church or elsewhere in Horsted Keynes, can seize between uses.

What else we do in Horsted Keynes
Part by part
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.
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs as long as the bearings are still sound.
Questions from Horsted Keynes
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Horsted Keynes?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Horsted Keynes is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Which environmental health team covers Horsted Keynes?
Food hygiene inspections in Horsted Keynes are carried out by Mid Sussex council. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
Doing both together is often sensible. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Typically not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we’ll explain the options.
When something else is needed
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
What happens if it’s left?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. A planned visit to Horsted Keynes is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Extract fan repair in Horsted Keynes: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Horsted Keynes are the job of Mid Sussex council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. We cover Horsted Keynes, about 32 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Horsted Keynes
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
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.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further.

- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
