How we handle extract fan repair in Chineham
Across Chineham, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. Common call-outs are for a failed fan that needs a replacement and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, on roof and wall fans, fan housings and kitchen extract fans.
For a fan repair near Chineham, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, based on what you tell us about the fan.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. A site near Chineham usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What else we do in Chineham
What affects the quote in Chineham
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The number of sites or systems
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Chineham
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A dead fan motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Four Lanes Community Junior School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
FAQs for Chineham
Which council inspects kitchens in Chineham?
Food hygiene inspections in Chineham are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Chineham?
Day or night, a failed fan in Chineham can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A fan repair on its own does not include the ductwork. We’ll tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Around Chineham, a kitchen or building out of action is missed straight away.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

- Every visit written up, with pictures

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You will hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
