Extract Fan Repair in Shoreham-by-Sea
For extract fan repair in Shoreham-by-Sea, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
How we handle extract fan repair in Shoreham-by-Sea
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. We are often asked to deal with a belt-driven fan that squeals and a motor that trips out or overheats, on bearings, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans.
In a town like Shoreham-by-Sea, a failed fan normally means a closed kitchen. That is why our emergency line runs 24/7.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What else we do in Shoreham-by-Sea
How we price extract fan repair
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Shoreham-by-Sea questions
Do you work overnight in Shoreham-by-Sea?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Shoreham-by-Sea keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan repair in Shoreham-by-Sea?
It can. Salt air reaches Shoreham-by-Sea, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that’s one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we will tell you the reasons.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. 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.
What we do, step by step
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos taken on a phone are typically enough for us to plan a job in Shoreham-by-Sea and give a fixed quote.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- 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.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Do you need extract fan repair in Shoreham-by-Sea?
Kitchen extract fans in Shoreham-by-Sea face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An old fan that needs replacing
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Buckingham Park Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Before booking anyone

- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether VAT is included
Why act early in Shoreham-by-Sea
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Before an inspection or an insurer’s visit in Shoreham-by-Sea, it helps to have up-to-date records.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What you get with us
