How we handle extract fan repair in Telscombe Cliffs
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. If you have an overheating extract motor and an extract fan that has stopped working, we can help, from belts and pulleys, bearings and fan motors onwards.
In a place like Telscombe Cliffs, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired, and we’ll explain the options.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why act early in Telscombe Cliffs
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Around Telscombe Cliffs, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes, so we ask about it early.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.
What affects the quote in Telscombe Cliffs
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Do you work at weekends in Telscombe Cliffs?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Telscombe Cliffs can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which council inspects kitchens in Telscombe Cliffs?
Kitchens in Telscombe Cliffs are inspected by Lewes council’s environmental health officers. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?

How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
That depends on what’s wrong, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We’ll give you a better idea once we have diagnosed it.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
When a fan fails in Telscombe Cliffs
The coast is only about 1 mile from Telscombe Cliffs. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 20 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 13 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Telscombe Cliffs. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. It’s Lewes council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Telscombe Cliffs. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Ascension Church, or anywhere in Telscombe Cliffs, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. If you manage a school such as Telscombe Cliffs Community Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
