Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Plumpton Green
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we’ll say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you’re dealing with an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a whining or grinding extract motor, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Common problems we fix in Plumpton Green
In Plumpton Green, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
What we are most often called out for:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near All Saints or elsewhere in Plumpton Green, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
What to look for in a quote
- What insurance they carry
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What affects the quote in Plumpton Green
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- What state the system is in
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
For extract fan repair in Plumpton Green, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.

Common questions in Plumpton Green
Can you get to a site in Plumpton Green?
Yes. Plumpton Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work overnight in Plumpton Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Plumpton Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
The ductwork is a separate job. We will point out grease where we find it and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will arrange a diagnosis.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.

The work on site takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, and we clear up before we go. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Plumpton Green.
- 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.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit

- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. In a small place like Plumpton Green, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
