- A fan rattling in its housing
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A whining or grinding extract motor
What the work involves, part by part
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.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Extract fan repair in Selham
Wherever your kitchen is in Selham, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you are cooking. We’re often asked to deal with weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a belt-driven fan that squeals, on kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
In a small place like Selham, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Other services in Selham
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Common questions in Selham
Can you get to a site in Selham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Selham is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who inspects food businesses in Selham?
Kitchens in Selham are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Is there help out of hours when the extract fails?
We provide a 24/7 emergency callout. Cooking without working extraction isn’t sensible, and we’ll aim to get it going again.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Somewhere like Selham, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Related advice
Signs you need extract fan repair in Selham
Kitchen extract fans in Selham face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A dead fan motor
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An old fan that needs replacing
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St James or elsewhere in Selham, can seize between uses.
What to look for in a quote
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether a written report and photos are included

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
