Extract fan repair and replacement in Coates, West Sussex
Repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts for commercial sites in Coates and across West Sussex. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- An extract fan that has stopped working
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Coates.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get 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.

Extract fans in Coates
Kitchens in Coates get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. At about 43 miles from central London, Coates sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Agatha or elsewhere in Coates, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
Coates is about 10 miles north of Littlehampton, in West Sussex. Across the RH20 area, we cover extract fan repair for commercial sites. Coates is one of 371 towns, villages and districts in West Sussex we cover for extract fan repair. We also work in Guildford, around 20 miles away.
Extract fan repair in RH20 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Close by, we work in Lower Horncroft (1 mile east), Fittleworth (1 mile north-east), Bedham (1 mile north-east), Watersfield (2 miles south-east) and Coldwaltham (2 miles south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Horsham (14 miles north-east), Worthing (12 miles south-east), Bognor Regis (12 miles south-west), Chichester (12 miles south-west), Littlehampton (10 miles south) and Lancing (14 miles south-east).
Around Coates
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Swan Hotel and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Pulborough station, roughly 2.7 miles east of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Coates Castle (0.5 miles south-west) and Coultershaw Heritage Site (2 miles north-west). Green spaces nearby include Bignor Hill and Amberley Wild Brooks.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- 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 fewer faults.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
Coates questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Coates?
That’s Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Coates. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Coates?
Coates is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
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.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is, Coates included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Coates rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

How we price extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Common problems we fix in Coates
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Look out for any of the following:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A fan rattling in its housing
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Fittleworth CofE Village School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
