- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. Access affects how long a repair takes, so we ask about it early.
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
How we handle extract fan repair in Stanmer
Across Stanmer, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. Typical jobs include a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a whining or grinding extract motor, across fan motors, fan housings and roof and wall fans.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Leave it or put it right?
In Stanmer, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Why us?

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Stanmer
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How big the system is
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Stanmer
Do you cover smaller places like Stanmer?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Stanmer is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Stanmer be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Stanmer needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Extract fan repair around Stanmer

For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. It’s Brighton and Hove council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stanmer. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. At about 44 miles from central London, Stanmer sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Stanmer
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats, trips out or eventually burns out.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan that will not start at all
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan rattling in its housing
If you cook near Falmer station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of insurance
The process
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere like Stanmer, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- 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
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
