About our extract fan repair in Elsted Marsh
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. The work covers fan motors, bearings and roof and wall fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a whining or grinding extract motor and a dead fan motor.
In a village or hamlet like Elsted Marsh, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Elsted Marsh and across West Sussex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

When to call us in Elsted Marsh
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that’s a common source of rattles.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that keeps cutting out
Hall kitchens near St George's Church, or anywhere around Elsted Marsh, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
What to look for in a quote
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Elsted Marsh: your questions answered
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Elsted Marsh out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in Elsted Marsh can be reported on our emergency line. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Is Elsted Marsh within the area you cover?
Yes, Elsted Marsh is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise usually comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Part by part
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Wherever the kitchen is, Elsted Marsh included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. If the system at a site near Elsted Marsh fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Visits to a village like Elsted Marsh are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
