Extract fan repair for sites in Cocking

Questions from Cocking

Can you come to Cocking after we close?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Can you get to a site in Cocking?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Cocking is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.

Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?

We cannot price it without knowing the fault. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.

Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?

Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.

How do you protect the area?

We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.

What accreditations do you have?

BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

What’s TR19?

TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.

How we handle extract fan repair in Cocking

Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. The work covers fan housings, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys, and the jobs we see most are a dead fan motor and a worn or slipping fan belt.

In a village or hamlet like Cocking, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Leave it or put it right?

Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Cocking is calmer for everyone.

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What happens on the day

We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Cocking knowing what to expect.

  1. We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
  2. On site, the fan is safely isolated.
  3. The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
  4. A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
  5. We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.

Before we arrive

  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice

What a clean won’t put right

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:

  • Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
  • A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
  • Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer

If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

Where we work

  • Fan motors
  • Bearings
  • Belts and pulleys
  • Kitchen extract fans
  • Fan housings

When a fan fails in Cocking

Kitchens in Cocking get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. At about 47 miles from central London, Cocking sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Cocking

Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • An overheating extract motor
  • An extract fan that has stopped working
  • A humming noise from the fan motor
  • A squealing belt on start-up

Hall kitchens near St Catherine of Siena Church, or anywhere around Cocking, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

What to look for in a quote

  • Whether a survey comes first
  • When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
  • Whether the quote shows VAT
  • Whether a written report and photos are included

Questions to ask before you book

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Part by part

Impellers and housings

Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning will not help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.

Direct-drive fans

Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.

How we price extract fan repair

We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:

  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • The condition of the system
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • One-off work versus a regular cycle

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What we need to know

A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:

  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • A few general shots of the system

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
