Chandler's Ford: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Chandler's Ford?
Kitchens in Chandler's Ford are inspected by Eastleigh council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you work overnight in Chandler's Ford?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Chandler's Ford does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Chandler's Ford
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. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan housings and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan that has stopped working and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts.
For a pub, café or takeaway in a town like Chandler's Ford, no extract fan means no cooking. Our 24/7 emergency callout is there for exactly that.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Extract fan repair around Chandler's Ford
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 33 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 20 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Chandler's Ford. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In Chandler's Ford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Eastleigh council.

If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Chandler's Ford Infant School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Boniface or elsewhere in Chandler's Ford, can seize between uses. If you run a café or takeaway near Chandlers Ford station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.

When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:

- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing

Where we work
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
What affects the quote in Chandler's Ford
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Any permits to work or inductions
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote

- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. Every hour of strain takes its toll, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Catching it early in Chandler's Ford means you choose the day.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. A few pictures of the system and its access points help us plan a visit in Chandler's Ford.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- 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
