Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Extract fan repair in Teasley Mead
Wherever your kitchen is in Teasley Mead, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you are cooking. If you have vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and an extract fan that has stopped working, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Teasley Mead, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, 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. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Why deal with it now?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. It’s simpler to plan the work at Teasley Mead now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Extract fan repair in Teasley Mead: local notes
About 27 miles out from central London, Teasley Mead is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. It’s Wealden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Teasley Mead. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near All Saints or elsewhere in Teasley Mead, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. For a takeaway near Ashurst Kent station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Teasley Mead questions
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Teasley Mead out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in Teasley Mead are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Who inspects food businesses in Teasley Mead?
The local authority for Teasley Mead is Wealden council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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 TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Visits to a village like Teasley Mead are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
