About our extract fan repair in High Salvington
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. If you’re dealing with an overheating extract motor and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, we can help.
A callout to a place like High Salvington is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, based on what you tell us about the fan.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Different parts, different methods
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
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.

How we price extract fan repair
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
Questions from High Salvington
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in High Salvington?
Food hygiene inspections in High Salvington are carried out by Worthing council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Can you get to a site in High Salvington?
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 will a fan repair or replacement cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
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.

The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Around High Salvington, access is normally simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
