Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You will hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
What affects the quote in Nutbourne
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Nutbourne
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Nutbourne or anywhere else. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
For a takeaway near Nutbourne station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.
What your quote should include
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- What insurance they carry
What happens if it’s left?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. In a small place like Nutbourne, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What extract fan repair looks like in Nutbourne
Nutbourne is within about 2 miles of the coast. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. Look up Nutbourne on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Nutbourne. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Nutbourne. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Chidham Parochial Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. Hall kitchens near St Wilfrid's Church and Hall, or anywhere around Nutbourne, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Nutbourne
Do you cover Nutbourne for emergency fan repairs?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Nutbourne is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan repair in Nutbourne?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Nutbourne than inland. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
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.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
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.
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.

Other services in Nutbourne
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Visits to a village like Nutbourne are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
