Extract fan repair in West Marden, done properly
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. If you are dealing with an extract fan that rattles or knocks and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like West Marden, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to West Marden.
- 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
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Common questions in West Marden
Do you cover smaller places like West Marden?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in West Marden?
Extract fan emergencies in West Marden are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Multi-site and managed buildings
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 pictures.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in West Marden and across West Sussex. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Why act early in West Marden
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. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. Somewhere as small as West Marden, 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 play a part.

Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
What extract fan repair looks like in West Marden
We cover West Marden, about 53 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Kitchens in West Marden 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.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Compton and Up Marden CofE Primary School, rather than mid-term. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near The Parish Church of St Mary, or anywhere in West Marden, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs 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, which is where we come in.
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and renew them where needed.
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 so you know who to call.
