Extract fans in Ashton
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Ashton. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Ashton are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you manage a school such as Bishops Waltham Infant School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Ashton, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Extract fan repair in Ashton
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that’s what we will recommend. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan housings and kitchen extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are poor airflow at the canopy and a fan shaking on its mountings.
Somewhere as small as Ashton, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Ashton: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ashton?
The local authority for Ashton is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Is Ashton within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
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, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
Who do we call if the fan stops in the middle of cooking?
Our emergency line is open 24/7. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email at any time if the extract stops and we’ll organise an engineer.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Often, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Why deal with it now?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you’re busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. With notice, the visit to Ashton can be fitted around your bookings and events.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- Photo reports with every job
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- Full insurance on every job
See our cost guide and our accreditations.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Ashton
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
For extract fan repair in Ashton, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

How it works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Ashton knowing what to expect.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
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. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
