Extract Fan Repair in Loxwood

- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
Extract fan repair in Loxwood
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. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. Typical jobs include an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a fan that won’t start at all, on fan housings, belts and pulleys and bearings.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Loxwood
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Questions from Loxwood
Which council inspects kitchens in Loxwood?
That’s Chichester council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Loxwood. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Can the work in Loxwood be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Loxwood can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Loxwood
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Loxwood Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Questions to ask before you book
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Whether a survey comes first
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
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.
Part by part
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that will not start is not always a failed motor.
How we price extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The scale of the work
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- A few general shots of the system
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Loxwood run smoothly.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.

What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
