Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Cocking Causeway
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. If you’re dealing with a failed fan that needs a replacement and a worn or slipping fan belt, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
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, and we are fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. For a village or hamlet like Cocking Causeway, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Advice
Managing agents and facilities teams in Cocking Causeway
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.

Cocking Causeway: your questions answered
Can you come to Cocking Causeway after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Cocking Causeway does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Can you get to a site in Cocking Causeway?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Cocking Causeway is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking and we can plan the two together.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What we’re called out for in Cocking Causeway
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.
Look out for any of the following:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan that will not start at all
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary Magdalene or elsewhere in Cocking Causeway, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings

- Bearings
