About extract fan repair in West Sussex

Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in West Sussex, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. The work covers bearings, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan that won’t start at all and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts.

Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan.

  1. We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
  2. With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
  3. Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
  4. We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
  5. Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.

Extract fan repair across West Sussex: local notes

From Crawley, Horsham and Worthing to its smaller places, every kitchen in West Sussex relies on a working extract fan. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for when one fails.

We work across London and the South East, and West Sussex is part of that area. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote, wherever it is in West Sussex. West Sussex includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of roof-level equipment. Fans and cowls on sea-facing roofs are worth checking at every visit.

Crawley: Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Friary Church of St Francis and St Anthony or elsewhere in Crawley, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. For a takeaway near Crawley station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

Why act early?

It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in West Sussex gets to the real cause.

Questions to ask before you book

  • Whether a written report and pictures are included
  • Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
  • Proof of accreditation you can verify
  • What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed

How we price extract fan repair

You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:

  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • The times the site is available
  • The number of sites or systems
  • Travel, parking and unloading

A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.

What we need to know

Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • Any previous report or certificate

We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Managing agents and facilities teams in West Sussex

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Signs you need extract fan repair

Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that will not start isn’t always a dead motor.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • A motor that trips out or overheats
  • A knocking noise from the extract fan
  • A fan shaking on its mountings
  • A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen

Honest limits

Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:

  • Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
  • Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
  • Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)

Common questions in West Sussex

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

How far ahead should we book?

The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.

What if our extract fan fails during service?

We run a 24/7 emergency callout for exactly this. We’ll take the details and get an engineer to you as soon as we can.

What if parts of the system can’t be reached?

We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?

The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll tell you what we see, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
