Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job and we plan around it.
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Angmering-on-Sea
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. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. The work covers bearings, roof and wall fans and fan motors, and people most often call us about a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a squealing belt on start-up.
In a village or hamlet like Angmering-on-Sea, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Angmering-on-Sea questions
Can you get to a site in Angmering-on-Sea?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan repair in Angmering-on-Sea?
It can. Salt air reaches Angmering-on-Sea, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we will talk you through what’s involved.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do we need to close the kitchen for fan work?
Yes, the extract has to be off while we work. Evening, overnight and weekend visits keep disruption down so service carries on as normal.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.

What a clean won’t put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

When a fan fails in Angmering-on-Sea
The coast is only about 1 mile from Angmering-on-Sea. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. Food Standards Agency data counts about 39 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 15 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Angmering-on-Sea, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Environmental health officers from Arun council inspect food businesses in Angmering-on-Sea. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
For school kitchens, at schools like East Preston Infant School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Do you need extract fan repair in Angmering-on-Sea?
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Angmering-on-Sea or anywhere else. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan that keeps cutting out
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Angmering-on-Sea, can seize between uses.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s 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, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Angmering-on-Sea.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
Why it’s worth doing now in Angmering-on-Sea
In Angmering-on-Sea, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
