Extract fan repair in Three Bridges, done properly
Kitchens in Three Bridges call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. The work covers kitchen extract fans, bearings and fan motors, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan that has stopped working and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Three Bridges often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired.
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.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Three Bridges
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition we find in the survey
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
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 we’ll price it together.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Three Bridges: your questions answered
Is Three Bridges within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Three Bridges included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Three Bridges?
Kitchens in Three Bridges are inspected by Crawley council’s environmental health officers. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Often, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts and we only recommend replacement when repair doesn’t make sense.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
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 on a regular cycle.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.

What else we do in Three Bridges
Why deal with it now?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Three Bridges than wait for a failure.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something 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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Visits to a place like Three Bridges are planned ahead, so we arrive with what the survey says the job needs.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
