Extract fan repair in Telscombe, done properly
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we’ll say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you’re dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and a fan rattling in its housing, we can help, from roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and fan motors onwards.
Around a place like Telscombe, a pub, café or care home kitchen with a failed fan can’t carry on cooking as normal. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How we price extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The size of the system
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Your opening hours decide when we come to Telscombe, not ours.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Advice
Why act early in Telscombe
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. A site near Telscombe that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What you get with us
- Trading since 2009
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Fully insured

Extract fan repair in Telscombe: local notes
Telscombe is within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. Food Standards Agency data counts about 17 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 13 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Telscombe. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In Telscombe, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Lewes council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Lawrence, or anywhere in Telscombe, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Telscombe Cliffs Community Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Common questions in Telscombe
Do you cover smaller places like Telscombe?
Yes, Telscombe is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come to Telscombe after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How long will the fan be out of action?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. We will give you a better idea once we have diagnosed it.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise normally comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults, and we diagnose it on site.

What a clean will not put right

- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
