Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Extract fan repair around Racton
Sea air reaches Racton, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. Environmental health officers from Chichester council inspect food businesses in Racton. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. We cover Racton, about 55 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Racton Church or elsewhere in Racton, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Bourne Community College, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair

How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Racton can be planned properly.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Why deal with it now?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we will talk you through it.

FAQs for Racton
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Racton?
Racton is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Does the sea air around Racton make a difference to extract fan repair?
Yes, to a degree: at about 3 miles from the coast, Racton gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at each visit.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
