Extract fan repair in Bighton, done properly
Kitchens in Bighton call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price for the repair or the replacement. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers bearings, belts and pulleys and fan housings, and people most often call us about an old fan that needs replacing and a fan that keeps cutting out.
In a village or hamlet like Bighton, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Bighton knowing what to expect.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
Leave it or put it right?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Do you need extract fan repair in Bighton?
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats, trips out or eventually burns out.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A dead fan motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
Hall kitchens near Church of All Saints, or anywhere around Bighton, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Part by part
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.

Bighton: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Bighton?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Bighton. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Do you work at weekends in Bighton?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Bighton can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
