Our extract fan repair service in Southampton

Kitchens in Southampton call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. We are often asked to deal with a humming noise from the fan motor and an extract fan that has stopped working, across fan housings, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans.

Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered.

You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
On site, the fan is safely isolated.
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.

What affects the price in Southampton

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

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.

Extract fan repair across Southampton: local notes

In Southampton, we repair and replace fans in places such as Shirley, Regents Park and Townhill Park and the smaller places around them. Every place on our Southampton list (40 in all) is covered.

Across England, including Southampton, the responsible person has a legal duty to assess and reduce fire risk, and a TR19® certificate and photo report give you a record of the work. Southampton includes coastal places, where salt in the air speeds up corrosion of roof-level equipment. Fans and cowls on sea-facing roofs are worth checking at every visit.

Southampton: School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Bevois Town Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Saint Mary's or elsewhere in Southampton, can seize between uses.

Signs you need extract fan repair

Fans everywhere, Southampton included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

A fan that keeps cutting out
A squealing belt on start-up
Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
A fan that whines, hums or grinds

Honest limits

We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:

Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing

Part by part

Fan controls

Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We’ll tell you if that is what we find and explain what we found.

Impellers and housings

Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.

Looking after it afterwards

Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:

Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank

Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.

A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.

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 can diagnose it and quote.

Common questions in Southampton

Will you tell us when the next visit is due?

Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.

What paperwork should we keep on file?

Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.

Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?

A fan repair on its own does not include the ductwork. We will point out grease where we find it and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.

How far ahead should we book?

Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.

How much time does a fan repair need?

Most fan jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault including running the fan afterwards. We will fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.

Will the kitchen have to stop cooking while you work?

While we’re working on the fan, the extract is isolated. Evening, overnight and weekend visits keep disruption down so you don’t lose trade.
