Extract fan repair in Shermanbury
Grease and fans don’t mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. We are often asked to deal with a failed fan that needs a replacement and a knocking noise from the extract fan, on belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and fan housings.
A callout to a small place like Shermanbury goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Shermanbury
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Jolesfield CofE Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

When a fan fails in Shermanbury
Shermanbury is about 38 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Shermanbury. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority.

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to Shermanbury is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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 work begins.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You’ll hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Shermanbury
Do you cover Shermanbury for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Shermanbury are covered around the clock. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Shermanbury?
Kitchens in Shermanbury are inspected by Horsham council’s environmental health officers. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Shermanbury
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Shermanbury and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.

What else we do in Shermanbury
Why act early in Shermanbury
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. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
