Extract fan repair in Pease Pottage
Wherever your kitchen is in Pease Pottage, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you’re cooking. If you have a fan rattling in its housing and a fan shaking on its mountings, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Pease Pottage, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. That is what our 24/7 emergency callout is for.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Around Pease Pottage, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for 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.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Pease Pottage
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that’s a common source of rattles.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A dead fan motor
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan rattling in its housing
Fan failures around Pease Pottage don’t keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.
Questions to ask before you book
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Proof of insurance
What extract fan repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.
What we work on in Pease Pottage
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.

What happens if it’s left?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Pease Pottage than wait for a failure.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
