Repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts in Bashley, surveyed first and signed off with a written report and pictures. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A dead fan motor
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Bashley.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- 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
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
How we handle extract fan repair in Bashley
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. If you have vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a fan that won’t start at all, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
When to call us in Bashley
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.
What we are most often called out for:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
For school kitchens, at schools like Ballard School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the price is fixed
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You will hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
Noise is usually the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
When a fan fails in Bashley
Sea air reaches Bashley, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Bashley. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Kitchens in Bashley get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St John or elsewhere in Bashley, can seize between uses.

Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.

Why it’s worth doing now in Bashley
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. If the system at a site near Bashley fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
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.

Common questions in Bashley
Can sea air affect extract fan repair in Bashley?
It can. Bashley is within about 3 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Do you work at weekends in Bashley?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work and we will talk you through what’s involved.
Do you cover Bashley?
Yes. Our technicians work in Bashley, within the South East and London area we cover.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
