Extract fan repair in Pagham
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. Common call-outs are for poor airflow at the canopy and a fan shaking on its mountings, on kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and bearings.
A callout to a small place like Pagham goes better when we know what we’re looking at: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Extract fan repair around Pagham
The coast is only about 1 mile from Pagham. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pagham. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Kitchens in Pagham get their food hygiene inspections from Arun council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Thomas A Becket, or anywhere in Pagham, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

What affects the quote in Pagham
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Pagham: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Pagham?
Food hygiene inspections in Pagham are carried out by Arun council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Pagham out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in Pagham are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Noise normally comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults, and we diagnose it on site.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them 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 will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Why act early in Pagham
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. Planning a trip to Pagham ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

How it 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. After that, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Visits to a village like Pagham are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- 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.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
