Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Normans' Bay
Across Normans' Bay, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. If you have a dead fan motor and a humming noise from the fan motor, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Normans' Bay, 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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding usually come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault and then recommend the fix.

- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
Kitchens in Normans' Bay can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops.

Why it’s worth doing now in Normans' Bay
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly and the fan may stop when you are busiest. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Normans' Bay rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Normans' Bay
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Never run the extract with filters missing
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
Questions from Normans' Bay
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Normans' Bay?
Normans' Bay is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Can you get to a site in Normans' Bay?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Normans' Bay included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
As a guide, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that is likely to be.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Each sounds a little different and we find the exact cause on site.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
