- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan rattling in its housing
- An old fan that needs replacing
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Extract fan repair in Mountfield, done properly
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. We’re often asked to deal with weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a worn or slipping fan belt, across belts and pulleys, fan motors and bearings.
In a village or hamlet like Mountfield, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold 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.

What affects the quote in Mountfield
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- The times the site is available
- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey
- How big the system is
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Somewhere as small as Mountfield, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- 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.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
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.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
When a fan fails in Mountfield
We cover Mountfield, about 45 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. It’s Rother council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Mountfield. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you manage a school such as Vinehall 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 The Parish Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Mountfield, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

FAQs for Mountfield
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Mountfield out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in Mountfield can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can you work in Mountfield outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Mountfield needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re 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.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
