What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
About our extract fan repair in Maplehurst
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. Typical jobs include weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a fan rattling in its housing, on roof and wall fans, fan motors and bearings.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
We have been trading since 2009, as 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.

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Maplehurst run smoothly.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Maplehurst
Do you work overnight in Maplehurst?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Maplehurst can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Maplehurst?
That’s Horsham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Maplehurst. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
In many cases, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.

Extract fans in Maplehurst
About 35 miles out from central London, Maplehurst is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Maplehurst. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Andrew, or anywhere in Maplehurst, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like St Andrew's CofE Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see

Why deal with it now?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. Planning a trip to Maplehurst ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Why book with us

- Fully insured

When it’s something else
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
