Extract fan repair and replacement in East Worthing, West Sussex
Extract fan repair and replacement for businesses, landlords and public buildings in East Worthing. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in East Worthing
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. If you’re dealing with weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and an old fan that needs replacing, we can help, from kitchen extract fans, bearings and fan housings onwards.
In a smaller place like East Worthing, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Common problems we fix in East Worthing
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan rattling in its housing
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St George's Church, or anywhere in East Worthing, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When the next visit should be, and why
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Belts wear, stretch and slip, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in East Worthing
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Most fan jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, including testing. We plan the work around your service where possible.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
That depends on what we find. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic, then send you a fixed quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Noise typically comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults and we find the exact cause on site.
