Extract fan repair in Charlwood
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. If you are dealing with an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a belt-driven fan that squeals, we can put it right, from fan motors, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. 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.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Visits to a village like Charlwood are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Charlwood: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Charlwood?
That is East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Charlwood. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Will you come out to Charlwood?
Yes, Charlwood is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Why act early in Charlwood
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. If the system at a site near Charlwood fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

What affects the quote in Charlwood
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- The size of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

Common problems we fix in Charlwood
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan rattling in its housing
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Monkwood Mission Church or elsewhere in Charlwood, can seize between uses.

When it’s something else
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
