How we handle extract fan repair in Appleshaw
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you have a humming noise from the fan motor and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, we can help, from fan housings, fan motors and bearings onwards.
In a small place like Appleshaw, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Appleshaw.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Move anything stored near the system
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

What affects the quote in Appleshaw
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

Extract fan repair around Appleshaw
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Appleshaw and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Food hygiene inspections in Appleshaw are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Peter in the Wood, or anywhere in Appleshaw, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. For school kitchens, at schools like Appleshaw St Peter's CofE Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Appleshaw questions
Do you cover smaller places like Appleshaw?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Appleshaw is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which environmental health team covers Appleshaw?
Food hygiene inspections in Appleshaw are carried out by Test Valley council. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What if our extract fan fails during service?
We provide a 24/7 emergency callout. Cooking without working extraction is not sensible, and we’ll aim to get it going again.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Does the extract need to be off for a fan repair?
We isolate the fan for safety. Most kitchens book us out of hours, so service is not lost.
Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What happens if it’s left?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. With notice, the visit to Appleshaw can be fitted around your bookings and events.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Part by part
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and renew them where necessary.
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that’s the cause, we’ll say so and explain what we found.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
