Your questions about extract fan repair in Bepton Common
Can the work in Bepton Common be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Bepton Common doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bepton Common?
Kitchens in Bepton Common are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
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.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults, and we diagnose it on site.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We will point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
About our extract fan repair in Bepton Common
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. Typical jobs include vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a knocking noise from the extract fan, across belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans.
In a small place like Bepton Common, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What we are called out for in Bepton Common
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Bepton Common or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A squealing belt on start-up
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Roman Catholic Church of Divine Motherhood or elsewhere in Bepton Common, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the price is fixed
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Extract fan repair around Bepton Common
Food Standards Agency records list about 14 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Bepton Common. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Bepton Common, about 46 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Kitchens in Bepton Common get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Midhurst CofE Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Bepton Common before we set off.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
