Extractor fan repair in Bognor Regis
Extract fan repair for Bognor Regis, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

How we handle extract fan repair in Bognor Regis
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. If you have a whining or grinding extract motor and a fan shaking on its mountings, we can help, from fan housings, roof and wall fans and fan motors onwards.
Bognor Regis is big enough to have kitchens of every kind, and every one relies on its extract fan. A failed fan normally means a kitchen cannot cook safely, so our 24/7 emergency line matters.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we’re called out for in Bognor Regis
Not every problem is mechanical. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
If you cook near Bognor Regis station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.
Questions to ask before you book
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether VAT is included
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Why act early in Bognor Regis
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. Every hour of strain takes its toll, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. Larger sites in Bognor Regis are easier to manage on a planned schedule.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.

The process
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Whoever holds the keys and signs off contractors at your site in Bognor Regis is the person we need to speak to before the day.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
How we price extract fan repair
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Want a quote for extract fan repair? Please phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with a few details about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
Extract fans in Bognor Regis
At about 1 mile from the coast, Bognor Regis is close enough for sea air to matter. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. Look up Bognor Regis on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 93 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 42 takeaways in Bognor Regis and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Food hygiene inspections in Bognor Regis are the job of Arun council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as The Regis School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary Magdalene, or anywhere around Bognor Regis, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Questions from Bognor Regis
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bognor Regis?
Food hygiene inspections in Bognor Regis are carried out by Arun council. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Bognor Regis out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in Bognor Regis can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
How long will the fan be out of action?
A typical repair takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, including testing. We’ll fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
