Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Milton Street
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that will not start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. We’re often asked to deal with a humming noise from the fan motor and poor airflow at the canopy, on fan motors, bearings and kitchen extract fans.
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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How it works
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Milton Street.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work

What extract fan repair looks like in Milton Street
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Milton Street. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Milton Street is about 49 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Milton Street. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you manage a school such as Alfriston School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Mary and St Peter's Church, or anywhere in Milton Street, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Common questions in Milton Street
Which environmental health team covers Milton Street?
In Milton Street, it’s Wealden council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Will you come out to Milton Street?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Milton Street included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance and that’s one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work, and we will explain the options.
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.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts, or the motor itself may be failing.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
