Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
About our extract fan repair in Broadbridge
Across Broadbridge, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. The work covers fan motors, fan housings and belts and pulleys, and the jobs we see most are a fan shaking on its mountings and poor airflow at the canopy.
In a small place like Broadbridge, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Common questions in Broadbridge
Is extract fan repair any different in a coastal place like Broadbridge?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, Broadbridge gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Do you work in villages like Broadbridge?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Broadbridge is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. Grease on the fan usually means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
That depends on what we find. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Broadbridge before we set off.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- 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
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Extract fan repair around Broadbridge
The coast is only about 3 miles from Broadbridge. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Broadbridge 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. Kitchens in Broadbridge get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
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. For school kitchens, at schools like Bosham Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
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.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Do you need extract fan repair in Broadbridge?
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
Hall kitchens near The United Reformed Church, or anywhere around Broadbridge, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
