How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and cause vibration.
Extract fan repair in Ebernoe, done properly
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that’s what we’ll recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. Typical jobs include a whining or grinding extract motor and poor airflow at the canopy, across kitchen extract fans, fan housings and fan motors.
For a fan repair in or near Ebernoe, 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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Ebernoe questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Ebernoe?
That’s Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ebernoe. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Will you come out to Ebernoe?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Ebernoe is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs before recommending a unit.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What extract fan repair looks like in Ebernoe
At about 39 miles from central London, Ebernoe sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Ebernoe. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Ebernoe, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
Do you need extract fan repair in Ebernoe?
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An overheating extract motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
If a fan fails in Ebernoe at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open.

What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Ebernoe before we set off.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; 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.

What affects the quote in Ebernoe
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
