Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Lagness
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan housings and fan motors, and common reasons people get in touch are a humming noise from the fan motor and a fan that keeps cutting out.
For a fan repair in or near Lagness, 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.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What affects the quote in Lagness
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

FAQs for Lagness
Who inspects food businesses in Lagness?
Kitchens in Lagness are inspected by Arun council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Does the sea air around Lagness make a difference to extract fan repair?
It can. Lagness is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you cover Lagness?
Yes. We work in Lagness and across West Sussex, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How long will the fan be out of action?
It depends on the fault, but as a guide it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. You’ll know more once we have found the fault.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Extract fans in Lagness
At about 2 miles from the coast, Lagness is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. Food Standards Agency records list about 8 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Lagness. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Food hygiene inspections in Lagness are the job of Arun council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
For school kitchens, at schools like Rose Green Junior School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Lagness knowing what to expect.

Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Grease on the fan normally means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
Common problems we fix in Lagness
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind, and if they’re left they can seize.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Giles, or anywhere in Lagness, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
