Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
About our extract fan repair in North Mundham
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. We’re often asked to deal with a fan rattling in its housing and a motor that trips out or overheats, across kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and bearings.
Somewhere as small as North Mundham, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to North Mundham.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

What else we do in North Mundham
Common problems we fix in North Mundham
In North Mundham, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you manage a school such as North Mundham Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

FAQs for North Mundham
Which environmental health team covers North Mundham?
Food hygiene inspections in North Mundham are carried out by Chichester council. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in North Mundham at night?
Extract fan emergencies in North Mundham are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired, then give you a fixed quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that is the cause, we’ll say so so you know who to call.
What extract fan repair looks like in North Mundham
North Mundham is within about 3 miles of the coast. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. Food Standards Agency records list about 37 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 10 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of North Mundham. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in North Mundham. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near The Parish Church of St Stephen or elsewhere in North Mundham, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
