What your team can do, and what needs us
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, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Extract fan repair in Charter Alley
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. We’re often asked to deal with poor airflow at the canopy and a belt-driven fan that squeals, across kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
A callout to a small place like Charter Alley goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Charter Alley
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Charter Alley?
Food hygiene inspections in Charter Alley are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you cover smaller places like Charter Alley?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
We look at repairing it first. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer and we’ll tell you the reasons.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
What is 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 it takes a risk-based approach.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Charter Alley knowing what to expect.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

What extract fan repair looks like in Charter Alley
In Charter Alley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. Charter Alley is about 47 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Christ Church or elsewhere in Charter Alley, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as The Priory Primary School, rather than mid-term.
Charter Alley is about 3 miles south of Tadley, in Hampshire. Across the RG26 area, we can carry out extract fan repair at your premises. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, Charter Alley among them. There’s also a page for Reading, about 12 miles away.
Extract fan repair in RG26 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Charter Alley
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
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.
How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
