Extract fan repair in Catisfield, done properly
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that’s what we’ll recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. The work covers bearings, fan housings and fan motors, and common reasons people get in touch are a humming noise from the fan motor and a belt-driven fan that squeals.
In a place like Catisfield, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Part by part
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Catisfield, so let us know how to reach it.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Related advice
Why deal with it now?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Catisfield than wait for a failure.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Why us?
- Fully insured
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

Catisfield questions
Does the sea air around Catisfield make a difference to extract fan repair?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Catisfield than inland. Corroded fixings and housings are noted on the report so they can be dealt with.
Which environmental health team covers Catisfield?
That’s Fareham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Catisfield. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Will the kitchen have to stop cooking while you work?
The extract must be off while the fan is opened up. We plan the visit around your hours, so service is not lost.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Is there help out of hours when the extract fails?
You can reach our emergency line day or night. Until the fan is running, think carefully about cooking without extraction so we’ll work to get it back in service.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Catisfield
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A humming noise from the fan motor
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Ranvilles Infant School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
What your quote should include
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the price is fixed
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Extract fan repair in Catisfield: local notes
Catisfield lies within about 2 miles of the sea. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. Look up Catisfield on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 21 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 13 sandwich bars and takeaways in Catisfield and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Food hygiene inspections in Catisfield are the job of Fareham council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Catisfield, can seize between uses.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
For extract fan repair in Catisfield, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send photos or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.
