Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Scaynes Hill
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. If you are dealing with a fan that whines, hums or grinds and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, we can help, from bearings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans onwards.
In a small place like Scaynes Hill, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

When it’s something else
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
What affects the quote in Scaynes Hill
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Scaynes Hill and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
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 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Scaynes Hill
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Scaynes Hill at night?
Scaynes Hill is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Is Scaynes Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Scaynes Hill is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will arrange a diagnosis.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. 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.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Scaynes Hill and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Extract fan repair around Scaynes Hill
It’s Mid Sussex council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Scaynes Hill. 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. Scaynes Hill, about 35 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Augustine of Canterbury, or anywhere around Scaynes Hill, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. For school kitchens, at schools like St Augustine's CofE Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
