Extractor fan repair in Northchapel
Extract fan repair across Northchapel and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
When to call us in Northchapel
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- An old fan that needs replacing
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Northchapel Community Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

About our extract fan repair in Northchapel
Working on a fan in Northchapel means switching the extract off first, 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’re often asked to deal with vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and an old fan that needs replacing, on fan housings, belts and pulleys and bearings.
For a fan repair in or near Northchapel, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on.

- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote

How we price extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Northchapel rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Northchapel
Which council inspects kitchens in Northchapel?
The local authority for Northchapel is Chichester council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Is Northchapel within the area you cover?
Yes. Northchapel is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do we need to close the kitchen for fan work?
We isolate the fan for safety. Most kitchens book us out of hours, so service isn’t lost.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we cannot 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.
What a clean will not put right
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
