Extract fan repair in Rusper
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that will not start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. The work covers fan housings, kitchen extract fans and fan motors, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that won’t start at all and an extract fan that rattles or knocks.
In a small place like Rusper, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Rusper
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Mary Magdalene church or elsewhere in Rusper, can seize between uses.

Extract fan repair in Rusper: local notes
It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Rusper. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority. About 27 miles out from central London, Rusper is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Rusper Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Rusper is about 4 miles west of Crawley, in West Sussex. Rusper gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. Rusper is one of 371 places in West Sussex we cover for extract fan repair. For sites nearby, see our Guildford page (15 miles or so).

Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding normally come from the bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself and then recommend the fix.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Why it’s worth doing now in Rusper
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Rusper gets to the real cause. A planned visit to Rusper is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Rusper before we set off.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

Advice
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.

Common questions in Rusper
Do you cover Rusper for emergency fan repairs?
Day or night, a failed fan in Rusper can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Can you come to Rusper after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Rusper needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
