Part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
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 in Bedham
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. If you have a worn or slipping fan belt and an overheating extract motor, we can help, from bearings, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Bedham, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What extract fan repair looks like in Bedham
At about 42 miles from central London, Bedham sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Kitchens in Bedham get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Fittleworth CofE Village School, rather than mid-term. Hall kitchens near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere around Bedham, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Advice
Bedham: your questions answered
Can you come to Bedham after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Who inspects food businesses in Bedham?
In Bedham, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Do you cover Bedham?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Bedham included.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we will explain the options.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Bedham
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- How many systems or sites are involved
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Bedham gets to the real cause. If the system at a site near Bedham fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
