Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Westhampnett
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. Typical jobs include an extract fan that rattles or knocks and an overheating extract motor, on bearings, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans.
In a small place like Westhampnett, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.

What else we do in Westhampnett
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Somewhere as small as Westhampnett, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
How to prepare
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Related advice
In-house cleaning or 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, and that’s where we come in.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
Westhampnett questions
Who inspects food businesses in Westhampnett?
Food hygiene inspections in Westhampnett are carried out by Chichester council. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Westhampnett out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in Westhampnett are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work, and we’ll explain the options.
How much time does a fan repair need?
That depends on what’s wrong, but most jobs take a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. We’ll give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Bearings
Why deal with it now?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Somewhere as small as Westhampnett, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Westhampnett.
