Extract Fan Repair in Burridge
Extract fan repair for Burridge and the surrounding area: diagnosis first, then a fixed quote, the work and a report with photos. Ask us for a fixed quote.
- A dead fan motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A motor that trips out or overheats
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
Extract fan repair in Burridge
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we’ll say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. If you’re dealing with vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a knocking noise from the extract fan, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Burridge, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Part by part
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.
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.
Questions from Burridge
Do you work at weekends in Burridge?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Burridge needn’t be disturbed. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Burridge?
Extract fan emergencies in Burridge are covered around the clock. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We typically quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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 do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Extract fans in Burridge
Food Standards Agency records list about 44 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 13 sandwich bars and takeaways across Burridge and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. It’s Fareham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Burridge. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
For kitchens in and around Burridge, our emergency line runs 24/7.

Common problems we fix in Burridge
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that’s a common source of rattles.
Look out for any of the following:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- An overheating extract motor
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Whiteley Primary School, rather than mid-term.

What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Burridge before we set off.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Advice
Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
