Extract fan repair and replacement in Hurst Green, East Sussex
Professional extract fan repair in and around Hurst Green, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with photos.
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
Why deal with it now?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Why Hurst Green businesses choose us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

Extract fan repair in Hurst Green
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. We are often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mountings and a failed fan that needs a replacement, across bearings, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans.
In a village or hamlet like Hurst Green, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. The timing of a visit to Hurst Green is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us where we can park and unload

Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: 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, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Common problems we fix in Hurst Green
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Hurst Green or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan that will not start at all
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A squealing belt on start-up
Hall kitchens near Holy Trinity, or anywhere around Hurst Green, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Hurst Green
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

FAQs for Hurst Green
Is Hurst Green within the area you cover?
Yes, Hurst Green is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can the work in Hurst Green be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Hurst Green can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning will not help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We’ll tell you if that’s what we find so you know who to call.
