Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in East Marden
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in East Marden, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. The work covers fan motors, bearings and fan housings, and people most often call us about a humming noise from the fan motor and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork.
Somewhere as small as East Marden, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to East Marden and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Common problems we fix in East Marden
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in East Marden or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- An overheating extract motor
- A dead fan motor
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
For kitchens in and around East Marden, our emergency line runs 24/7.

Your questions about extract fan repair in East Marden
Which environmental health team covers East Marden?
In East Marden, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Will you come out to East Marden?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and East Marden is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What about areas you cannot get to?
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.
Which records should we keep?
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 happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and the quieter it runs.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
