How we handle extract fan repair in Strettington
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. The work covers kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about an overheating extract motor and a fan shaking on its mountings.
Somewhere as small as Strettington, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Questions from Strettington
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Strettington?
Day or night, a failed fan in Strettington can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Can you come to Strettington after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Strettington keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
How much time does a fan repair need?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. If parts have to be ordered, we’ll tell you how long that is likely to be.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
What extract fan repair looks like in Strettington
Food Standards Agency records list about 17 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Strettington. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. About 52 miles out from central London, Strettington is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Strettington. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Boxgrove CofE Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

How we price extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- What state the system is in
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
If you need extract fan repair in Strettington, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Somewhere like Strettington, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Get a fixed quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Related advice
Do you need extract fan repair in Strettington?
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Andrew's Church or elsewhere in Strettington, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.

Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Leave it or put it right?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. A planned visit to Strettington is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We’ll tell you if that’s what we find and explain what we found.
