Extract fan repair and replacement in Kent Street, West Sussex
Extract fan repair and replacement in Kent Street, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and photos. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
Extract fan repair in Kent Street, done properly

The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. Common call-outs are for a worn or slipping fan belt and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, across bearings, kitchen extract fans and fan motors.

Honest limits
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Kent Street
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Do you need extract fan repair in Kent Street?
Not every problem is mechanical. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- An overheating extract motor
Around Kent Street, a failed fan can be reported day or night on our 24/7 line.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Extract fans in Kent Street
In Kent Street, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. Kent Street is about 37 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Whether the kitchen is in Kent Street itself or nearby, a fan is checked for grease, wear and damage before we recommend a repair or replacement.

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Common questions in Kent Street
Which council inspects kitchens in Kent Street?
That is Horsham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Kent Street. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Kent Street at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Kent Street can be reported on our emergency line. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs so the first step is a diagnosis.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
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. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Visits to a village like Kent Street are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
