Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in West Hoathly
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

What else we do in West Hoathly
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Do you need extract fan repair in West Hoathly?
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
If you manage a school such as West Hoathly CofE Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether they’re fully insured
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You’ll hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
Questions from West Hoathly
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in West Hoathly out of hours?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and West Hoathly is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in West Hoathly?
Food hygiene inspections in West Hoathly are carried out by Mid Sussex council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor is not always to blame.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
