Leave it or put it right?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. A fault that closes a site in a village like Carter's Clay affects everyone who depends on it.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day

How we handle extract fan repair in Carter's Clay
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that is what we’ll recommend. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. The work covers bearings, fan housings and fan motors, and the jobs we see most are an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a fan that keeps cutting out.
In a small place like Carter's Clay, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Carter's Clay
Who inspects food businesses in Carter's Clay?
Food hygiene inspections in Carter's Clay are carried out by Test Valley council. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Is Carter's Clay within the area you cover?
Yes. Carter's Clay is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What if our extract fan fails during service?
Our emergency line is open 24/7. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line at any time if the extract stops and we will organise an engineer.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
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 the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

Extract fan repair in Carter's Clay: local notes

School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Awbridge Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts. Fan failures around Carter's Clay do not keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

What else we do in Carter's Clay
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Carter's Clay can be planned properly.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
