How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option, and we will explain why.
About our extract fan repair in Cheriton
Across Cheriton, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. Common call-outs are for a fan that keeps cutting out and a belt-driven fan that squeals, on kitchen extract fans, fan housings and bearings.
Somewhere as small as Cheriton, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What else we do in Cheriton
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What extract fan repair looks like in Cheriton
Food Standards Agency records list about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Cheriton 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. Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Cheriton. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority. At about 56 miles from central London, Cheriton sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael or elsewhere in Cheriton, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

Questions from Cheriton
Do you work overnight in Cheriton?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Cheriton can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Cheriton?
Kitchens in Cheriton are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
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 will explain why.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Why deal with it now?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Cheriton rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
Signs you need extract fan repair in Cheriton
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A motor that trips out or overheats
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Cheriton Primary School, rather than mid-term.

How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. For a village or hamlet like Cheriton, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
