Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Stedham
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:

Extract fan repair in Stedham
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. If you have an old fan that needs replacing and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and fan motors onwards.
A callout to a small place like Stedham goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Stedham
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Common questions in Stedham
Who inspects food businesses in Stedham?
Kitchens in Stedham are inspected by Chichester council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Stedham out of hours?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Stedham is part of our area. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What happens if it’s left?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Somewhere as small as Stedham, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. For a village or hamlet like Stedham, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
What extract fan repair looks like in Stedham
At about 46 miles from central London, Stedham sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stedham. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St James or elsewhere in Stedham, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
Stedham is about 7 miles east of Petersfield, in West Sussex. Stedham 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.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Stedham
In Stedham, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A humming noise from the fan motor
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Stedham Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
