Questions from Andover
Which environmental health team covers Andover?
In Andover, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can the work in Andover be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Andover can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work, and we will explain the options.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote so there are no surprises.
How we handle extract fan repair in Andover
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we’ll say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. Typical jobs include a worn or slipping fan belt and a failed fan that needs a replacement, on roof and wall fans, fan motors and bearings.
For a pub, café or takeaway in a town like Andover, no extract fan means no cooking. Our 24/7 emergency callout is there for exactly that.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How it works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Work in Andover is normally booked after closing, early in the morning or on a closed day.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Related advice
Do you need extract fan repair in Andover?
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Andover or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Look out for any of the following:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Andover, can seize between uses.
Questions to ask before you book
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning will not help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault and then recommend the fix.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Andover
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Why act early in Andover
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Nothing in a duct, damper or fan improves by being left.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What you get with us
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Full insurance on every job
- We diagnose before we treat
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
When a fan fails in Andover
Food Standards Agency data counts about 59 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 34 sandwich bars and takeaways across Andover and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Andover. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you run a café or takeaway near Andover station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like St John the Baptist Catholic Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
