Your questions about extract fan repair in Rowhook
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Rowhook at night?
Extract fan emergencies in Rowhook are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Who inspects food businesses in Rowhook?
That is Horsham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Rowhook. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
What is 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, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.
How much time does a fan repair need?
A typical repair takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed including running the fan afterwards. We will fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we’ll tell you the reasons.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance and that is one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
Extract fan repair in Rowhook, done properly
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. Typical jobs include an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a fan rattling in its housing, on kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys.
A callout to a small place like Rowhook goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

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 can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Belts wear, stretch and slip, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.

Leave it or put it right?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan that won’t start at all

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
