Extractor fan repair in Tangmere
Extract fan repair for Tangmere, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

- An extract fan that has stopped working
About our extract fan repair in Tangmere
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we will say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. If you have a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a failed fan that needs a replacement, we can help.
In a smaller place like Tangmere, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. That is what our 24/7 emergency callout is for.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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 to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Why it’s worth doing now in Tangmere
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.

Common problems we fix in Tangmere
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A dead fan motor
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
Hall kitchens near St Andrew's Church, or anywhere around Tangmere, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Your opening hours decide when we come to Tangmere, not ours.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
Tangmere: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Tangmere?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Tangmere needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover smaller places like Tangmere?
Yes. Tangmere is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
That depends on what we find. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired, then give you a fixed quote.
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.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Does the report say when we need you again?
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.
Extract fan repair in Tangmere: local notes
There are about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Tangmere and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Kitchens in Tangmere get their food hygiene inspections from Chichester council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. About 52 miles out from central London, Tangmere is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Tangmere Primary Academy or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
