Extract fan repair in Wiston
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. The work covers fan housings, bearings and fan motors, and the jobs we see most are a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and an overheating extract motor.
Somewhere as small as Wiston, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Questions from Wiston
Do you cover smaller places like Wiston?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wiston included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Wiston at night?
Wiston is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Part by part
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Do you need extract fan repair in Wiston?
Kitchen extract fans in Wiston face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
Kitchens in Wiston can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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 can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What extract fan repair looks like in Wiston
Look up Wiston on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wiston. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Wiston is about 42 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 Wiston. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
Hall kitchens near All Saints Church, or anywhere around Wiston, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
