What happens on the day
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. It takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, and we clear up before we go. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Burkham, let us know and we will plan around it.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Extract fan repair in Burkham, done properly
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. 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’ve found before any work goes ahead. If you are dealing with an extract fan that has stopped working and a knocking noise from the extract fan, we can put it right.
In a village or hamlet like Burkham, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
What extract fan repair looks like in Burkham
In Burkham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. About 47 miles out from central London, Burkham is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Whether the kitchen is in Burkham itself or nearby, a fan is checked for grease, wear and damage before we recommend a repair or replacement.

Burkham questions
Do you cover smaller places like Burkham?
Yes. Burkham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Burkham?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Burkham keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan typically means grease in the ducts, and we can arrange both.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will arrange a diagnosis.
Do we need to close while you work?
Usually not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Why act early in Burkham
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Burkham rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What you get with us

What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Burkham
Not every problem is mechanical. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that won’t start isn’t always a dead motor.
Look out for any of the following:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An overheating extract motor
- A dead fan motor
- A whining or grinding extract motor
For kitchens in and around Burkham, our emergency line runs 24/7.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
