What extract fan repair looks like in Shipton Green
At about 1 mile from the coast, Shipton Green is close enough for sea air to matter. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Shipton Green and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In Shipton Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Chichester council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Nicholas' Church, or anywhere in Shipton Green, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

What else we do in Shipton Green
What affects the quote in Shipton Green
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll typically have a quote within one working day.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Shipton Green
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
Why deal with it now?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. Every hour of strain takes its toll, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. It’s simpler to plan the work at Shipton Green now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.

How the visit works

After that, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Shipton Green.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.

Shipton Green: your questions answered
Does the sea air around Shipton Green make a difference to extract fan repair?
It can. Salt air reaches Shipton Green, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Can you get to a site in Shipton Green?
Yes. Shipton Green is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Is there help out of hours when the extract fails?
Our emergency line is open 24/7. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos at any time if the extract stops and we’ll arrange a visit.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan typically means grease in the ducts, and we can arrange both.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Do you need extract fan repair in Shipton Green?
Not every problem is mechanical. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
What we are most often called out for:
- An overheating extract motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A squealing belt on start-up
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Birdham CE Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that won’t start isn’t always a failed motor.
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.
