Extract fan repair in Warnham, done properly

The work covers belts and pulleys, fan housings and fan motors, and people most often call us about weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a squealing belt on start-up.
A callout to a small place like Warnham goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.

What we’re called out for in Warnham
Fans everywhere, Warnham included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A squealing belt on start-up
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Warnham, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Somewhere as small as Warnham, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Warnham questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Warnham?
The local authority for Warnham is Horsham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Warnham?
Extract fan emergencies in Warnham are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
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.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
