Extract fan repair in Warningcamp
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 with a repair or a replacement. If you’re dealing with a belt-driven fan that squeals and an old fan that needs replacing, we can help, from fan motors, fan housings and bearings onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How we price extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- What state the system is in
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We will tell you if that is what we find so you know who to call.
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Warningcamp
Can you come to Warningcamp after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Warningcamp can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Warningcamp?
Extract fan emergencies in Warningcamp are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Noise normally comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different and we find the exact cause on site.
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. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
Common problems we fix in Warningcamp
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
Look out for any of the following:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Kitchens in Warningcamp can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops.

What extract fan repair looks like in Warningcamp
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 27 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Warningcamp. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Warningcamp is about 48 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Environmental health officers from Arun council inspect food businesses in Warningcamp. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
For school kitchens, at schools like The Littlehampton Academy for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.

What else we do in Warningcamp
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
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.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Warningcamp
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
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.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Visits to a village like Warningcamp are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
