Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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 can quote for the whole system.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.

Newtimber questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Newtimber?
The local authority for Newtimber is Mid Sussex council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Do you cover Newtimber for emergency fan repairs?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Newtimber is within the area we cover. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
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 only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.
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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Why act early in Newtimber
Wherever the kitchen is, Newtimber included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before it becomes a nuisance. A fault that closes a site in a village like Newtimber affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay 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 work begins, so there are no surprises.

How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Newtimber and turn up when the site is quiet.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Nearby places to Newtimber
What else we do in Newtimber
What we are called out for in Newtimber
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A worn or slipping fan belt
Around Newtimber, a failed fan can be reported day or night on our 24/7 line.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Newtimber
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Any permits to work or inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
