About our extract fan repair in Westfield
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. The work covers belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and bearings, and common reasons people get in touch are a motor that trips out or overheats and an old fan that needs replacing.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Westfield
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
For extract fan repair in Westfield, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across East Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
Noise is usually the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. In a small place like Westfield, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding normally come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault and then recommend the fix.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that won’t start is not always a failed motor.
Do you need extract fan repair in Westfield?
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats, trips out or eventually burns out.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A dead fan motor
Hall kitchens near The Parish Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere around Westfield, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

FAQs for Westfield
Who inspects food businesses in Westfield?
Food hygiene inspections in Westfield are carried out by Rother council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you work in villages like Westfield?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll point out grease where we find it and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs so the first step is a diagnosis.
