About our extract fan repair in Storrington
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. If you have a knocking noise from the extract fan and a fan shaking on its mountings, we can help.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Storrington often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired.
A written report with pictures 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.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Extract fan repair around Storrington
Food Standards Agency data counts about 11 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops across Storrington and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. At about 43 miles from central London, Storrington sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Kitchens in Storrington get their food hygiene inspections from Horsham council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you manage a school such as Storrington Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

When to call us in Storrington
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
What we are most often called out for:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
Hall kitchens near The Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere around Storrington, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
Questions to ask before you book
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether they recommend a next date
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
What we do, step by step
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. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Your opening hours decide when we come to Storrington, not ours.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Around Storrington, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.

Common questions in Storrington
Do you work in villages like Storrington?
Yes, Storrington is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you cover Storrington for emergency fan repairs?
Storrington is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes, when repair does not make sense. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs before recommending a unit.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
