Extract fan repair in Offington
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. If you have a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a belt-driven fan that squeals, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Offington, 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.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Why deal with it now?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you’re busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. With notice, the visit to Offington can be fitted around your bookings and events.
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, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Extract fan repair in Offington: local notes
The coast is only about 2 miles from Offington. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. Look up Offington on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 62 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 53 takeaways in Offington and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. It’s Worthing council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Offington. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Andrew's Church, or anywhere in Offington, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Thomas A Becket Junior School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

How it works

Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Offington knowing what to expect.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.

Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?

By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We will tell you if that’s what we find and explain what we found.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
