Langney: your questions answered
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Langney at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Langney is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you work overnight in Langney?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Langney keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Extract fan repair in Langney
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. If you have a motor that trips out or overheats and a whining or grinding extract motor, we can help.
A callout to a place like Langney is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, so pictures of the fan and its rating plate help.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, 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.

Part by part
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that won’t start isn’t always a failed motor.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Langney than wait for a failure.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

How it works
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Your opening hours decide when we come to Langney, not ours.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
When to call us in Langney
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that is a common source of rattles.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An overheating extract motor
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St. Richard or elsewhere in Langney, can seize between uses.
Questions to ask before booking
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the price is fixed
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What paperwork you get at the end
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The number of sites or systems
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Extract fan repair in Langney: local notes
At about 2 miles from the coast, Langney 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 50 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 18 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Langney. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. In Langney, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Eastbourne council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you manage a school such as Langney Primary Academy and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
