What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
How we handle extract fan repair in Rudgwick
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Rudgwick, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. The work covers bearings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans, and people most often call us about a fan rattling in its housing and poor airflow at the canopy.
In a village or hamlet like Rudgwick, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

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 itself may be failing.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
Honest limits
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It does not solve:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

Related advice
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Somewhere as small as Rudgwick, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Rudgwick: your questions answered
Can you come to Rudgwick after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Rudgwick keeps running as normal. Just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Rudgwick?
That’s Horsham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Rudgwick. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Extract fan repair around Rudgwick
We cover Rudgwick, about 32 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from Horsham council inspect food businesses in Rudgwick. 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.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Rudgwick, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Rudgwick Primary School, rather than mid-term.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
