Litlington extract fan repair
We cover Litlington for extract fan repair. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos as standard.
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- Poor airflow at the canopy
How it works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Litlington knowing what to expect.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Litlington
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. If you’re dealing with weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a worn or slipping fan belt, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common questions in Litlington
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Litlington?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Litlington is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Which council inspects kitchens in Litlington?
Food hygiene inspections in Litlington are carried out by Wealden council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
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. File it with your fire safety records.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Often, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back, and we will always say when repair makes sense.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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.
Extract fans in Litlington
Litlington lies within about 3 miles of the sea. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. There are about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Litlington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. In Litlington, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Wealden council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Alfriston School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

When to call us in Litlington
Fans everywhere, Litlington included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A worn or slipping fan belt
Hall kitchens near The Parish Church of St Michael the Archangel, or anywhere around Litlington, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How we price extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
Why act early in Litlington
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Planning a trip to Litlington ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
