Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Hangleton
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. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. If you’re dealing with a fan rattling in its housing and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, we can put it right, from belts and pulleys, bearings and roof and wall fans onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Hangleton, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Extract fans in Hangleton
Hangleton is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 28 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 10 sandwich bars and takeaways across Hangleton and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Environmental health officers from Arun council inspect food businesses in Hangleton. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you manage a school such as Ferring CofE Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Why deal with it now?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
What affects the quote in Hangleton
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
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 go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Questions from Hangleton
Can you get to a site in Hangleton?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hangleton included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Hangleton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you need extract fan repair in Hangleton?
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Hangleton or anywhere else. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan that will not start at all
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A motor that trips out or overheats
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Andrew's Church or elsewhere in Hangleton, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something 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.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
