Goring-by-Sea extract fan repair
Professional extract fan repair in and around Goring-by-Sea, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
Noise is usually the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
Extract fan repair in Goring-by-Sea, done properly
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. We’re often asked to deal with a worn or slipping fan belt and an extract fan that has stopped working, on kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and fan motors.
A callout to a place like Goring-by-Sea is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, based on what you tell us about the fan.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What extract fan repair looks like in Goring-by-Sea
Sea air reaches Goring-by-Sea, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. There are about 35 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 25 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Goring-by-Sea, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. In Goring-by-Sea, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Worthing council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you run a café or takeaway near Goring-By-Sea station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. If you manage a school such as Goring-By-Sea CofE (Aided) Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Leave it or put it right?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Questions from Goring-by-Sea
Do you work in villages like Goring-by-Sea?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Goring-by-Sea at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Goring-by-Sea can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Goring-by-Sea when you book.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Ask for a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What affects the quote in Goring-by-Sea
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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.
Part by part
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that won’t start is not always a failed motor.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job, so we ask about it early.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Goring-by-Sea
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan that won’t start at all
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Goring-by-Sea, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
