Extract fan repair in West Green: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 94 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 44 takeaways and sandwich shops in West Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Kitchens in West Green get their food hygiene inspections from Crawley council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. About 26 miles out from central London, West Green is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
For kitchens close to Crawley station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Voice of Deliverance Full Gospel Church of God or elsewhere in West Green, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
West Green is about 1 mile north of Crawley, in West Sussex.

We cover 371 places across West Sussex, from busy centres to quieter spots. We also work in Guildford, about 19 miles from West Green.

About our extract fan repair in West Green
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that is what we’ll recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. Typical jobs include a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a fan rattling in its housing, on roof and wall fans, bearings and kitchen extract fans.
Around a place like West Green, a pub, café or care home kitchen with a failed fan cannot carry on cooking as normal. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
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, trading since 2009.

Do you need extract fan repair in West Green?
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan that will not start at all
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as West Green Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Why act early in West Green
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. When a site near West Green shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in West Green
Do you work at weekends in West Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in West Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in West Green out of hours?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and West Green is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
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, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
