Your questions about extract fan repair in Rushlake Green
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Rushlake Green?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Rushlake Green is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Rushlake Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Rushlake Green are carried out by Wealden council. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
Doing both together is often sensible. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
How we handle extract fan repair in Rushlake Green
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. The work covers fan motors, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about an overheating extract motor and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork.
Somewhere as small as Rushlake Green, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When to call us in Rushlake Green
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you manage a school such as Heathfield Community College and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Extract fans in Rushlake Green
Food hygiene inspections in Rushlake Green are the job of Wealden council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. Rushlake Green, about 42 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Rushlake Green, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.

Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and the quieter it runs.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Rushlake Green.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that is the cause, we will say so so you know who to call.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
