What extract fan repair can’t fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)

Extract fan repair in Sayers Common
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and bearings, and people most often call us about a fan rattling in its housing and a dead fan motor.
In a small place like Sayers Common, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
A written report with photos 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.

Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
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.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Sayers Common and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Extract fans in Sayers Common

For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Environmental health officers from Mid Sussex council inspect food businesses in Sayers Common. 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.

Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Albourne CofE Primary School, rather than mid-term. Hall kitchens near Christ Church, or anywhere around Sayers Common, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Common questions in Sayers Common
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Sayers Common?
Sayers Common is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Will you come out to Sayers Common?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
That depends on what we find. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic, then send you a fixed quote.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is 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.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.

Why deal with it now?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. If the system at a site near Sayers Common fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Whatever the type of site, the quote works 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
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
