- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
Extract fan repair in Anthill Common, done properly
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. The work covers fan housings, fan motors and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a dead fan motor.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

In Anthill Common, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council.

Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Anthill Common rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Anthill Common before we set off.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

FAQs for Anthill Common
Can you work in Anthill Common outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Anthill Common does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you cover Anthill Common for emergency fan repairs?
Anthill Common is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
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 can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We’ll tell you if that’s what we find and explain what we found.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Common problems we fix in Anthill Common
Kitchen extract fans in Anthill Common face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan rattling in its housing
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Anthill Common, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
