West Sussex · Extract fan repair and replacement
Climping extract fan repair
For extract fan repair in Climping, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A squealing belt on start-up
Common problems we fix in Climping
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that’s a common source of rattles.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan that will not start at all
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Climping, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
What to look for in a quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Extract fan repair in Climping, done properly
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. Typical jobs include an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a failed fan that needs a replacement, across fan motors, roof and wall fans and bearings.
Somewhere as small as Climping, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

FAQs for Climping
Do you cover smaller places like Climping?
Yes, Climping is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Climping?
Kitchens in Climping are inspected by Arun council’s environmental health officers. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Extract fans in Climping
Sea air reaches Climping, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. Food Standards Agency records list about 35 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 17 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Climping. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. In Climping, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Arun council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like St Mary's CofE Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
How we price extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Travel, parking and unloading
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that won’t start isn’t always a failed motor.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job, so we ask about it early.
Why act early in Climping
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. Somewhere as small as Climping, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Climping
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. The timing of a visit to Climping is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
