How we handle extract fan repair in West Town
Kitchens in West Town call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. If you’re dealing with a belt-driven fan that squeals and a humming noise from the fan motor, we can put it right, from belts and pulleys, fan motors and bearings onwards.
For a fan repair near West Town, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, so photos of the fan and its rating plate help.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Signs you need extract fan repair in West Town
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan that will not start at all
- A squealing belt on start-up
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
If you manage a school such as Mengham Infant School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the price is fixed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Where we work
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in West Town
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Questions from West Town
Does the sea air around West Town make a difference to extract fan repair?
It can. Being within about 1 mile of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in West Town than inland. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Will you come out to West Town?
Yes. West Town 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.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How long will the fan be out of action?
A typical repair takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault including running the fan afterwards. We will fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Noise normally comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different and we find the exact cause on site.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes, when repair does not make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What extract fan repair looks like in West Town
West Town is within about 1 mile of the coast. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. Look up West Town on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 33 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 17 takeaways and sandwich shops across West Town and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. It’s Havant council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in West Town. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
Hall kitchens near St Mary's Church, or anywhere around West Town, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
