Extract fan repair in Roffey, done properly
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we’ll say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you are dealing with a knocking noise from the extract fan and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, we can put it right.
In a smaller place like Roffey, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, 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.

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. In a smaller place like Roffey, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Ask for a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What happens if it’s left?
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. When a site near Roffey shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.
What you get with us

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Roffey

- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system

A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
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 extract fan repair looks like in Roffey
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 11 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 9 takeaways and sandwich shops in Roffey and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In Roffey, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Horsham council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. About 31 miles out from central London, Roffey is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
For school kitchens, at schools like Northolmes Junior School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Roffey, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

FAQs for Roffey
Who inspects food businesses in Roffey?
The local authority for Roffey is Horsham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Roffey at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Roffey is part of our area. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
As a guide, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Where parts need ordering, we’ll explain the timescale.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you have insurance?

Signs you need extract fan repair in Roffey
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A dead fan motor
If you cook near Littlehaven station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.
Questions to ask before booking
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the figure could change on the day
What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
