West Sussex · Extract fan repair and replacement
Broadwater extract fan repair
One call covers repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts in Broadwater, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A motor that trips out or overheats
What happens if it’s left?
In Broadwater, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. A quieter site near Broadwater still needs its system looked after.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

How we handle extract fan repair in Broadwater
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: 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. The work covers fan motors, kitchen extract fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about an extract fan that has stopped working and an extract fan that rattles or knocks.
In a smaller place like Broadwater, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. That is what our 24/7 emergency callout is for.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

FAQs for Broadwater
Which environmental health team covers Broadwater?
In Broadwater, it’s Worthing council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Does being near the coast affect extract fan repair in Broadwater?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Broadwater than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Do we need to close the kitchen for fan work?
We isolate the fan for safety. We plan the visit around your hours to avoid losing a service.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Is Broadwater in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Broadwater.
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Your opening hours decide when we come to Broadwater, not ours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work

What extract fan repair looks like in Broadwater
Broadwater is within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air is hard on fan housings, motors and fixings on roofs and outside walls. There are about 197 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 72 sandwich bars and takeaways in Broadwater and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Environmental health officers from Worthing council inspect food businesses in Broadwater. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you manage a school such as Broadwater CofE Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. If you run a kitchen close to Worthing 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 St. Mary's Church or elsewhere in Broadwater, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Broadwater
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Broadwater
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs as long as the bearings are still sound.
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.
