How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere as small as Norton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

How we handle extract fan repair in Norton
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. We are often asked to deal with an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, across belts and pulleys, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.
In a small place like Norton, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. 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. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

FAQs for Norton
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Norton out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in Norton are covered around the clock. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Can the work in Norton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Norton keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic, then give you a fixed quote.
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.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How long will the fan be out of action?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. You will know more once we’ve found the fault.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work

Signs you need extract fan repair in Norton
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A humming noise from the fan motor
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Norton, can seize between uses.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether a survey comes first
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
Why act early in Norton
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. A fault that closes a site in a village like Norton affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Why us?
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Full insurance on every job

Extract fans in Norton
At about 2 miles from the coast, Norton is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air is hard on fan housings, motors and fixings on roofs and outside walls. Look up Norton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 10 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Norton, up to about a mile and a half out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Kitchens in Norton get their food hygiene inspections from Lewes council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as UTC@Harbourside, rather than mid-term.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and cause vibration.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Norton
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
