Lambs Green questions
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Lambs Green?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Lambs Green is part of our area. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Which environmental health team covers Lambs Green?
The local authority for Lambs Green is Horsham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We can’t price it without knowing the fault. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Extract fan repair in Lambs Green, done properly
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. If you’re dealing with a worn or slipping fan belt and an overheating extract motor, we can put it right, from roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and fan motors onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Lambs Green
Fans everywhere, Lambs Green included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Rusper Primary School, rather than mid-term.

When a fan fails in Lambs Green
We cover Lambs Green, about 27 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. In Lambs Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.

- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and cause vibration.
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it and we’ll talk you through it.

Why act early in Lambs Green
In Lambs Green, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice. In a place like Lambs Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.

How we price extract fan repair
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The times the site is available
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Lambs Green can be planned properly.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- 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.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
