How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Calshot run smoothly.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- 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
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Advice
Extract fan repair in Calshot
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. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. The work covers belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and bearings, and people most often call us about a humming noise from the fan motor and a dead fan motor.
A callout to a small place like Calshot goes better when we know what we’re looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What extract fan repair looks like in Calshot
Calshot is within about 1 mile of the coast. Salt air is hard on fan housings, motors and fixings on roofs and outside walls. Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Calshot. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Kitchens in Calshot get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Hall kitchens near St George, or anywhere around Calshot, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. If a fan fails in Calshot at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open.

Why act early in Calshot
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. Planning a trip to Calshot ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that is the cause, we will say so so you know who to call.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys

Common questions in Calshot
Which council inspects kitchens in Calshot?
In Calshot, it’s New Forest 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.
Can sea air affect extract fan repair in Calshot?
It can, as Calshot is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you cover Calshot?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, and that includes Calshot.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
