How we handle extract fan repair in Turners Hill
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. Common call-outs are for a failed fan that needs a replacement and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, on belts and pulleys, bearings and kitchen extract fans.
In a small place like Turners Hill, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

When a fan fails in Turners Hill
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Turners Hill. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. We cover Turners Hill, about 27 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Mid Sussex council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Turners Hill. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Leonard, or anywhere in Turners Hill, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Turners Hill CofE Primary School, rather than mid-term.

Part by part
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

How it works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere like Turners Hill, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
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.
Related advice
Why deal with it now?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Turners Hill rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
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.

Questions from Turners Hill
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Turners Hill at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Turners Hill is within the area we cover. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Which council inspects kitchens in Turners Hill?
Food hygiene inspections in Turners Hill are carried out by Mid Sussex council. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
