Extract Fan Repair in Abshot
Repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts for commercial sites in Abshot and across Hampshire. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
Leave it or put it right?
Wherever the kitchen is, Abshot included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Abshot
Grease and fans do not mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. If you’re dealing with an overheating extract motor and an old fan that needs replacing, we can put it right, from roof and wall fans, fan motors and fan housings onwards.
A callout to a small place like Abshot goes better when we know what we’re looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Extract fan repair around Abshot
Sea air reaches Abshot, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. Look up Abshot on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 25 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Abshot. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. In Abshot, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Fareham 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.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Locks Heath Infant School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Abshot is about 3 miles west of Fareham, in Hampshire. Across the PO14 area, we can take on extract fan repair. We cover 683 places across Hampshire, from busy centres to quieter spots. Southampton is in our area too, around 7 miles away.
Every address in PO14 is within our area for extract fan repair, from the main roads to the quietest streets. Close by, we work in Hook (1 mile west), Titchfield Common (1 mile north-east), Locks Heath (1 mile north), Warsash (1 mile north-west) and Titchfield (1 mile east).

Local landmarks in Abshot
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Jolly Farmer Public House and Brookfield Community School and Language College and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Swanwick station, roughly 2 miles north of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Fareham Community Hospital (1.7 miles north) and Carron Row Farm Museum (1.7 miles north-east). Open spaces near Abshot include Holly Hill Woodland Park.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Common questions in Abshot
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Abshot out of hours?
Abshot is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Do you work in villages like Abshot?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Abshot included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Most fan jobs take part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, including testing. We will fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Abshot
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
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 make a difference.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- A few general shots of the system
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, and we clear up before we go. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Abshot.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for 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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
When to call us in Abshot
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A dead fan motor
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St John or elsewhere in Abshot, can seize between uses.
