Extract fan repair in Broadgate
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt, while a fan that will not start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. The work covers fan motors, bearings and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about a fan shaking on its mountings and a humming noise from the fan motor.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Why deal with it now?
A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. A planned visit to Broadgate is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

How we price extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What extract fan repair looks like in Broadgate
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Broadgate and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Broadgate. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Mark or elsewhere in Broadgate, can seize between uses. For school kitchens, at schools like Ampfield Church of England Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a village or hamlet like Broadgate, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Broadgate: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Broadgate?
In Broadgate, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you cover smaller places like Broadgate?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Broadgate is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
What if our extract fan fails during service?
We run a 24/7 emergency callout for exactly this. We will take the details and get an engineer to you as quickly as possible.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Broadgate
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts, or the motor itself may be failing.
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.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and the quieter it runs.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
