Extract fan repair in Slough Green
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. Common call-outs are for a dead fan motor and a failed fan that needs a replacement, across belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and fan housings.
Somewhere as small as Slough Green, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, and we clear up before we go. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Slough Green can be planned properly.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- 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

What extract fan repair looks like in Slough Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Slough Green. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. We cover Slough Green, about 33 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. It’s Mid Sussex council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Slough Green. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Warden Park School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Slough Green is about 3 miles north-west of Haywards Heath, in West Sussex. Whether your site is in the middle of Slough Green or further out, we cover extract fan repair for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Our West Sussex coverage runs to 371 places, Slough Green among them. For sites nearby, see our Brighton page, about 13 miles away.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
Common problems we fix in Slough Green
Not every problem is mechanical. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that will not start isn’t always a dead motor.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan that won’t start at all
Kitchens in Slough Green can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops.
Questions to ask before booking
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Proof of insurance
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, and that is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem 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.

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Slough Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Will you come out to Slough Green?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Slough Green included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

As a guide, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that’s likely to be.

The ductwork is a separate job. We will tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Slough Green and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor isn’t always to blame.
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.
