Extractor fan repair in Lordington
Looking for extract fan repair in Lordington? We survey first, send you a fixed quote and work around your opening hours, finishing with a written report and photos.
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A squealing belt on start-up
What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor is not always to blame.
How we handle extract fan repair in Lordington
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Lordington, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. If you’re dealing with a fan worn beyond sensible repair and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, we can put it right, from fan motors, kitchen extract fans and fan housings onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Lordington, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Common questions in Lordington
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Lordington at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Lordington can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Which council inspects kitchens in Lordington?
In Lordington, it’s Chichester council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Often it makes sense to do both. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Typically, a fan repair takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that is likely to be.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.

Advice
When a fan fails in Lordington
Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Lordington. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. At about 55 miles from central London, Lordington sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Bourne Community College, rather than mid-term. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Racton Church or elsewhere in Lordington, can seize between uses.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
