About our extract fan repair in Street End
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you have a whining or grinding extract motor and a knocking noise from the extract fan, we can put it right, from bearings, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys onwards.
In a small place like Street End, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Common problems we fix in Street End
Kitchen extract fans in Street End face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
What we’re most often called out for:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Mary Our Lady Sidlesham or elsewhere in Street End, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.

Common questions in Street End
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Street End out of hours?
Street End is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Do you work overnight in Street End?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Street End needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How long will the fan be out of action?
As a guide, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Where parts need ordering, we will explain the timescale.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, and we clear up before we go.

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
In Street End, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before it becomes a nuisance. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Street End is calmer for everyone.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

Extract fans in Street End
At about 2 miles from the coast, Street End is close enough for sea air to matter. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. Food Standards Agency data counts about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Street End, up to about a mile and a half out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. In Street End, 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. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Sidlesham Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Parking and loading at the site
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
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.

What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
