Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Wineham
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. If you have a dead fan motor and a worn or slipping fan belt, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Wineham, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

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 can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Wineham.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Related advice
What extract fan repair cannot fix
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Part by part
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that will not start isn’t always a failed motor.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, 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.
Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Planning a trip to Wineham ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.

Common questions in Wineham
Which council inspects kitchens in Wineham?
In Wineham, it’s Horsham council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Wineham?
Day or night, a failed fan in Wineham can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will arrange a diagnosis.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We will point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What extract fan repair looks like in Wineham
We cover Wineham, about 37 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. It’s Horsham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wineham. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Wineham, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
