Extract fans in Pett
Pett lies within about 1 mile of the sea. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. Look up Pett on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pett. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In Pett, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Rother council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
Fan failures around Pett do not keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.

About our extract fan repair in Pett
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. We’re often asked to deal with poor airflow at the canopy and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, across bearings, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that’s the cause, we’ll say so and explain what we found.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Pett
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- An overheating extract motor
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Mary & St Peter or elsewhere in Pett, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Pett
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Pett at night?
Pett is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan repair in Pett?
It can. Pett is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. The timing of a visit to Pett is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Advice
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
Leave it or put it right?
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. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
