Extract fan repair in Bosham
Grease and fans do not mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. Common call-outs are for an old fan that needs replacing and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, across kitchen extract fans, fan housings and bearings.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Visits to a village like Bosham are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Bosham
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that will not start is not always a failed motor.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

Why deal with it now?
A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day

Your questions about extract fan repair in Bosham
Do you work at weekends in Bosham?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Bosham needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Bosham?
Extract fan emergencies in Bosham are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes, when repair does not make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Extract fan repair in Bosham: local notes
The coast is only about 2 miles from Bosham. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Bosham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bosham. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
For school kitchens, at schools like Bosham Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. If you run a kitchen close to Bosham station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The United Reformed Church or elsewhere in Bosham, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
