Extract fan repair in Southwick, done properly
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. The work covers fan motors, fan housings and bearings, and the jobs we see most are a fan shaking on its mountings and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
Somewhere as small as Southwick, 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.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.

How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that won’t start is not always a failed motor.
Extract fans in Southwick
Southwick is within about 2 miles of the coast. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Southwick and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Southwick. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
For school kitchens, at schools like King Richard 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 Church of St James Without the Priory Gate or elsewhere in Southwick, can seize between uses.
Southwick is about 3 miles west of Purbrook, in Hampshire. Across the PO17 area, we can carry out extract fan repair at your premises. Southwick is one of 683 towns, villages and districts in Hampshire we cover for commercial clients.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Southwick
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
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 to a regular schedule.
What affects the quote in Southwick
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
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.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. With notice, the visit to Southwick can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- A written report with photos after every visit

What a clean will not put right
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

The process
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. The timing of a visit to Southwick is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Find the previous report, if there is one
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Southwick: your questions answered
Will you come out to Southwick?
Yes, Southwick is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you work in Southwick outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Southwick needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
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.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
