Walberton extract fan repair
Extract fan repair and replacement for Walberton, with a survey first and a report with photos at the end. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
Why deal with it now?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Walberton is calmer for everyone.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

About our extract fan repair in Walberton
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. If you have a dead fan motor and an old fan that needs replacing, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Questions from Walberton
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Walberton at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Walberton is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Is Walberton within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Walberton is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we will explain the options.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
When a fan fails in Walberton
Look up Walberton on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 8 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops in Walberton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. It’s Arun council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Walberton. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. Getting the fan running again is the priority. At about 51 miles from central London, Walberton sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you manage a school such as Walberton and Binsted CofE Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Walberton, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

How we price extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Walberton run smoothly.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
