Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Shillinglee
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. Common call-outs are for weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a fan that whines, hums or grinds, on fan motors, belts and pulleys and bearings.
Somewhere as small as Shillinglee, 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.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What happens if it’s left?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. In a small place like Shillinglee, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What else we do in Shillinglee
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and we clear up before we go. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Shillinglee knowing what to expect.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Fan motors
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Extract fans in Shillinglee
It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Shillinglee. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient.

Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.

Questions from Shillinglee
Can you get to a site in Shillinglee?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Shillinglee included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Shillinglee?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Shillinglee is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
