Extract fan repair and replacement in Chute Forest, Hampshire
For extract fan repair and replacement in Chute Forest, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor isn’t always to blame.
How we handle extract fan repair in Chute Forest
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. Common call-outs are for a fan rattling in its housing and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, on bearings, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys.
In a small place like Chute Forest, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Why act early in Chute Forest
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Somewhere as small as Chute Forest, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
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 make a difference.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Photo reports with every job
- Every job surveyed first

What happens on the day
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 first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere as small as Chute Forest, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Related advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
What we’re called out for in Chute Forest
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A dead fan motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An overheating extract motor
Hall kitchens near St Mary's Church, or anywhere around Chute Forest, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Chute Forest questions
Do you work at weekends in Chute Forest?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Chute Forest keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Chute Forest?
Yes. Chute Forest is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We’ll tell you what we see, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
What does TR19 mean?
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 legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
A typical repair takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, including testing. We plan the work around your service where possible.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
