How we handle extract fan repair in West Chiltington
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in West Chiltington, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. If you have a worn or slipping fan belt and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, we can help.
Somewhere as small as West Chiltington, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Common questions in West Chiltington
Is West Chiltington within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you work overnight in West Chiltington?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in West Chiltington keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs before recommending a unit.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Report new noises from the fan early
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. In a small place like West Chiltington, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- 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.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Part by part
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option and we’ll talk you through it.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.

What happens if it’s left?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. Every hour of strain takes its toll, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to West Chiltington is calmer for everyone.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Extract fans in West Chiltington
West Chiltington is about 41 miles from central London, well within the area we cover 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 Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in West Chiltington. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Hall kitchens near St Mary's Church, or anywhere around West Chiltington, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as West Chiltington Community Primary School, rather than mid-term.
