Peacehaven extract fan repair
Our technicians work in Peacehaven on extract fan repair. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A squealing belt on start-up
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How we handle extract fan repair in Peacehaven
Wherever your kitchen is in Peacehaven, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. We are often asked to deal with vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a humming noise from the fan motor, across fan motors, belts and pulleys and bearings.
A callout to a place like Peacehaven is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, based on what you tell us about the fan.
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. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Extract fans in Peacehaven
Peacehaven lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. Food Standards Agency data counts about 15 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Peacehaven. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Environmental health officers from Lewes council inspect food businesses in Peacehaven. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Peacehaven Community School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Why deal with it now?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Questions from Peacehaven
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Peacehaven?
Peacehaven is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Can you work in Peacehaven outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Peacehaven doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
How much time does a fan repair need?
That depends on what’s wrong, but most jobs take a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. We’ll give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
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 the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Visits to a place like Peacehaven are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
Do you need extract fan repair in Peacehaven?
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Ascension Church or elsewhere in Peacehaven, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
