About our extract fan repair in Andover Down
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. Common call-outs are for a knocking noise from the extract fan and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, across fan housings, belts and pulleys and bearings.
In a village or hamlet like Andover Down, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, 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.

What happens if it’s left?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. It’s simpler to plan the work at Andover Down now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.

What we are called out for in Andover Down
Kitchen extract fans in Andover Down face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Pilgrims' Cross CofE Aided Primary School, rather than mid-term.
Comparing quotes
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
Part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
What affects the quote in Andover Down
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
For extract fan repair in Andover Down, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send photos or your last report if you can. We usually send a fixed quote within one working day.
Extract fan repair in Andover Down: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in and around Andover Down, up to about a mile and a half out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Andover Down. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Andover Down before we set off.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
