About our extract fan repair in Bentworth
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Bentworth, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. The work covers fan motors, belts and pulleys and fan housings, and people most often call us about a worn or slipping fan belt and a fan rattling in its housing.
Somewhere as small as Bentworth, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.

Extract fans in Bentworth
About 47 miles out from central London, Bentworth is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Food hygiene inspections in Bentworth are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere in Bentworth, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Questions from Bentworth
Do you cover smaller places like Bentworth?
Yes, Bentworth is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bentworth?
The local authority for Bentworth is East Hampshire 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.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
That depends on what we find. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Most fan jobs take a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, including testing. We will fit it around the kitchen’s hours wherever we can.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What affects the quote in Bentworth
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
When to call us in Bentworth
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A squealing belt on start-up
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as St Mary's Bentworth Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term.
What to look for in a quote
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- Proof of insurance
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, and we clear up before we go. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Bentworth.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding normally come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes, so we ask about it early.
