About our extract fan repair in Keynor Estate
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. We’re often asked to deal with an old fan that needs replacing and a belt-driven fan that squeals, on belts and pulleys, bearings and fan motors.
Somewhere as small as Keynor Estate, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Grease on the fan normally means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.

What else we do in Keynor Estate
Extract fan repair around Keynor Estate
The coast is only about 1 mile from Keynor Estate. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Keynor Estate, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Keynor Estate. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham or elsewhere in Keynor Estate, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
Keynor Estate is about 2 miles north of Selsey, in West Sussex. Whatever kind of site you run in Keynor Estate, extract fan repair is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so trading isn’t interrupted. Keynor Estate is one of 371 towns, villages and districts in West Sussex where we work for extract fan repair. We also work in Portsmouth, around 13 miles away.
All of PO20 is covered for extract fan repair, from busy streets to back roads. Whether your site is on Chalk Lane and Cow Lane or anywhere close by, we can help. If your site is just outside Keynor Estate, we cover Sidlesham (1 mile north-east), Street End (1 mile north), Church Norton (2 miles south-east), Sidlesham Common (2 miles north) and Pagham (2 miles east). Further out, we also cover Bognor Regis (5 miles east), Chichester (5 miles north), Littlehampton (12 miles east), Emsworth (8 miles north-west), Rustington (13 miles east) and Angmering (14 miles east).
Local landmarks in Keynor Estate
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Academy. For rail, the closest station is Chichester station, about 4.4 miles north. Other landmarks nearby include Selsey Lifeboat Museum (2.9 miles south) and St Richard's Hospital (5.2 miles north).
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Why it’s worth doing now in Keynor Estate
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Take a look at how cleaning jobs are priced and our accreditations.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
What affects the quote in Keynor Estate
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before any work starts.
Keynor Estate: your questions answered
Can the work in Keynor Estate be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Keynor Estate can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which environmental health team covers Keynor Estate?
The local authority for Keynor Estate is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
How far ahead should we book?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Typically, a fan repair takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Where parts need ordering, we’ll explain the timescale.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you need extract fan repair in Keynor Estate?
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.
What we’re most often called out for:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A dead fan motor
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan that keeps cutting out
If you manage a school such as Sidlesham Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and we clear up before we go. In a small place like Keynor Estate, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- 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
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
