West Sussex · Extract fan repair and replacement
Woolbeding extract fan repair
Extract fan repair across Woolbeding and nearby, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and pictures.
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A whining or grinding extract motor
Why deal with it now?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. If the system at a site near Woolbeding fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Why book with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- We diagnose before we treat
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- Every visit written up, with pictures

About our extract fan repair in Woolbeding
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. We are often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mountings and a fan that won’t start at all, on fan motors, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys.
Somewhere as small as Woolbeding, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that will not start is not always a failed motor.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans

Woolbeding questions
Do you work in villages like Woolbeding?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Woolbeding included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Woolbeding out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in Woolbeding can be reported on our emergency line. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
How much time does a fan repair need?
It depends on the fault, but as a guide it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We’ll give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.

Extract fan repair around Woolbeding
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 14 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Woolbeding. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. It’s Chichester council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Woolbeding. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. We cover Woolbeding, about 45 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Stedham Primary School, rather than mid-term. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near The Parish Church of All Hollows, or anywhere in Woolbeding, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
How we price extract fan repair
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The condition of the system
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
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.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Woolbeding.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
