West Sussex · Extract fan repair and replacement
Extract fan repair and replacement in Arundel, West Sussex
Extract fan repair in Arundel from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A whining or grinding extract motor
When it’s something else
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Extract fan repair in Arundel
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Arundel, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. Typical jobs include vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a belt-driven fan that squeals, on fan housings, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys.
A callout to a place like Arundel is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, so pictures of the fan and its rating plate help.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
Noise is usually the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. In a smaller place like Arundel, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
What extract fan repair looks like in Arundel
There are about 27 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways across Arundel and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Arundel, about 49 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Kitchens in Arundel get their food hygiene inspections from Arun council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
For kitchens close to Arundel station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as St Philip's Catholic Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Arundel is about 3 miles north-west of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. We provide extract fan repair for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Arundel and the rest of West Sussex. Arundel is one of 371 places in West Sussex where we work for commercial clients. Our Brighton page covers sites nearby (19 miles or so).

If you need extract fan repair at premises on London Road, High Street and Arundel Relief Road or anywhere close by, our technicians can take on the work.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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.
Questions from Arundel
Can you come to Arundel after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Arundel needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Can you get to a site in Arundel?
Yes, Arundel is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Often, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Arundel
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

When you contact us, these details help:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

For extract fan repair in Arundel, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
What we are called out for in Arundel
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
Hall kitchens near Trinity Congregational Church, or anywhere around Arundel, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
Questions to ask before you book
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
