How we price extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
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 we start.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in East Worldham
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. If you have weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, we can help, from fan motors, fan housings and kitchen extract fans onwards.
For a fan repair in or near East Worldham, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Extract fans in East Worldham
We cover East Worldham, about 44 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. In East Worldham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire 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.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in East Worldham, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like East Worldham.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting 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 pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Why act early in East Worldham
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. In a place like East Worldham, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What you get with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- We diagnose before we treat

Common questions in East Worldham
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in East Worldham?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and East Worldham is part of our area. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Who inspects food businesses in East Worldham?
The local authority for East Worldham is East Hampshire council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Most fan jobs take part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered including running the fan afterwards. We’ll fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
When to call us in East Worldham
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan that keeps cutting out
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Eggar's School, rather than mid-term.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Proof of insurance
How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that will not start is not always a failed motor.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
