Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Salvington
Kitchens in Salvington call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. If you are dealing with a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a belt-driven fan that squeals, we can help, from belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and fan motors onwards.
A callout to a place like Salvington is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, so pictures of the fan and its rating plate help.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Extract fan repair around Salvington
Sea air reaches Salvington, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. There are about 64 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 56 takeaways in and around Salvington, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Kitchens in Salvington get their food hygiene inspections from Worthing council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Durrington Infant School, rather than mid-term.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and renew them where needed.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Salvington
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan rattling in its housing
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan shaking on its mountings
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Symphorian's Church, or anywhere in Salvington, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before booking.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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.
Salvington: your questions answered
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Salvington?
Salvington is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Salvington?
Kitchens in Salvington are inspected by Worthing council’s environmental health officers. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
How much notice do you need?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Tell us when your site near Salvington is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- 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.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Why act early in Salvington
In Salvington, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. In a smaller place like Salvington, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
