Common questions in Lidsey
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Lidsey?
Extract fan emergencies in Lidsey are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you get to a site in Lidsey?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lidsey is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
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.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What should go in our maintenance log?
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.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
That depends on what we find. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
How we handle extract fan repair in Lidsey
Wherever your kitchen is in Lidsey, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. We are often asked to deal with a fan rattling in its housing and a fan shaking on its mountings, on fan motors, kitchen extract fans and bearings.
In a small place like Lidsey, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. The timing of a visit to Lidsey is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

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
Extract fans in Lidsey
Sea air reaches Lidsey, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. Food Standards Agency data counts about 18 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lidsey. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Kitchens in Lidsey get their food hygiene inspections from Arun council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Aldingbourne Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Lidsey, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with

If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before you book.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
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.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Lidsey
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- What state the system is in
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Leave it or put it right?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. A fault that closes a site in a village like Lidsey affects everyone who depends on it.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
