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

Extract fan repair in Awbridge
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 have found before any work goes ahead. The work covers fan motors, fan housings and kitchen extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and poor airflow at the canopy.
A callout to a small place like Awbridge goes better when we know what we’re looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Awbridge questions
Which environmental health team covers Awbridge?
Kitchens in Awbridge are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Do you cover Awbridge for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Awbridge are covered around the clock. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We will point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. If repair is not sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
How much time does a fan repair need?
It depends on the fault, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. You will know more once we’ve found the fault.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Other services in Awbridge
What extract fan repair looks like in Awbridge
Look up Awbridge on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Awbridge, up to about a mile and a half out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Food hygiene inspections in Awbridge 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. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Awbridge, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

How the visit works
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Awbridge, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get 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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Common problems we fix in Awbridge
In Awbridge, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
For school kitchens, at schools like Awbridge Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Awbridge
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
