Extract fan repair in Shopwyke
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we’ll say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you are dealing with an extract fan that rattles or knocks and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, we can help, from bearings, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Shopwyke, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.

What else we do in Shopwyke
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Shopwyke can be planned properly.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Shopwyke
Do you cover smaller places like Shopwyke?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Shopwyke included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Shopwyke out of hours?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Shopwyke is within the area we cover. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Most fan jobs take an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, including testing. We plan the work around your service wherever we can.
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Extract fan repair in Shopwyke: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 25 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Shopwyke. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. We cover Shopwyke, about 53 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. In Shopwyke, 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.
For school kitchens, at schools like Westbourne House School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Shopwyke, can seize between uses.
Shopwyke is about 2 miles east of Chichester, in West Sussex. Shopwyke gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. We cover 371 places across West Sussex, large and small. For sites nearby, see our Portsmouth page, about 15 miles away.
Extract fan repair in PO20 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Local streets include Coach Road and Drayton Lane, and we cover them all for extract fan repair. Other places close to Shopwyke include Maudlin (1 mile north), Westhampnett (1 mile north-west), Oving (1 mile east), Portfield (1 mile west) and Strettington (1 mile north).

Local landmarks in Shopwyke
In Shopwyke, that means kitchens and buildings near The Coach And Horses Public House, The March CofE Primary School and Chichester High School For Girls, among other places. Shopwyke’s nearest station is Chichester station, about 1.9 miles west of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Chichester Castle (1.5 miles west) and St Richard's Hospital (1.3 miles west). For a walk, there’s Stoke Down.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
What happens if it’s left?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. In a place like Shopwyke, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
