Chithurst questions
Can you work in Chithurst outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Chithurst can fit around your hours. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Chithurst?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Chithurst is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
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.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. If repair is not sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
How we handle extract fan repair in Chithurst
If an extract fan in Chithurst is struggling or has stopped, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. If you have an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and poor airflow at the canopy, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Chithurst, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Extract fan repair in Chithurst: local notes
Chithurst, about 46 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. In Chithurst, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Chithurst Church, or anywhere in Chithurst, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Stedham Primary School, rather than mid-term.
Chithurst is about 6 miles east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Whether your site is in the middle of Chithurst or further out, we cover extract fan repair for every kind of premises, from a single unit to a large public building. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Chithurst among them. Portsmouth is in our area too, around 18 miles away.
Work in GU31 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. Nearby, we also carry out extract fan repair in Trotton Marsh (1 mile north-west), Borden (1 mile north-west), Rogate (2 miles west), Milland (2 miles north) and Rake (4 miles north-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Havant (13 miles south-west), Horndean (11 miles south-west), Alton (13 miles north-west), Waterlooville (13 miles south-west), Petersfield (6 miles west) and Purbrook (14 miles south-west).
What’s near Chithurst
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Keeper's Arms Public House, among other places. The nearest railway station is Liphook station, about 4.9 miles north. Nearby you’ll also find Midhurst Museum (2.9 miles east) and Midhurst Community Hospital (2.9 miles east). Open spaces near Chithurst include Wheeler's Down and Iping and Stedham Commons.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Chithurst
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and the quieter it runs.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding typically come from the bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself before recommending a fix.
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option and we’ll talk you through it.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The process
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Chithurst.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- 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.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
