Extract fan repair in Little Horsted, done properly
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. We’re often asked to deal with a whining or grinding extract motor and a fan that won’t start at all, across fan housings, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys.
For a fan repair in or near Little Horsted, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You will hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. For a village or hamlet like Little Horsted, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Little Horsted questions
Do you work in villages like Little Horsted?
Yes, Little Horsted is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you work in Little Horsted outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Little Horsted keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.

Part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option and we’ll talk you through it.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor isn’t always to blame.
Why deal with it now?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. If the system at a site near Little Horsted fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Little Horsted
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that is a common source of rattles.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan that will not start at all
- An overheating extract motor
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Little Horsted Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term.
