About our extract fan repair in Ashurst
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan housings and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about a fan that won’t start at all and a fan worn beyond sensible repair.
A callout to a small place like Ashurst goes better when we know what we’re looking at: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and renew them where necessary.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate

Your questions about extract fan repair in Ashurst
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan repair in Ashurst?
It can, as Ashurst is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Ashurst?
That’s New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ashurst. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults and we find the exact cause on site.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Common problems we fix in Ashurst
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
If you cook near Ashurst New Forest station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ashurst
A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. With notice, the visit to Ashurst can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Extract fans in Ashurst
Sea air reaches Ashurst, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. Look up Ashurst on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Ashurst. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Food hygiene inspections in Ashurst are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Colbury Christ Church, or anywhere in Ashurst, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Foxhills Infant School, rather than mid-term.
