Extract Fan Repair in Clayhall
Professional extract fan repair in and around Clayhall, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and pictures.
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
Common problems we fix in Clayhall
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that’s a common source of rattles.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A squealing belt on start-up
Hall kitchens near St Francis, or anywhere around Clayhall, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Extract fan repair in Clayhall
Wherever your kitchen is in Clayhall, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. The work covers fan housings, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about a worn or slipping fan belt and an extract fan that has stopped working.
In a place like Clayhall, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Extract fans in Clayhall
The coast is only about 1 mile from Clayhall. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. Food Standards Agency data counts about 64 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 24 takeaways in Clayhall and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. It’s Gosport council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Clayhall. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Haselworth Primary School, rather than mid-term.

What else we do in Clayhall
What happens if it’s left?

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Clayhall: your questions answered
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan repair in Clayhall?
It can, as Clayhall is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Can you come to Clayhall after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Clayhall needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Do you work in Clayhall?
Yes. We work in Clayhall and the rest of Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
What happens on the day
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Everything the job in Clayhall needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- 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.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
How we price extract fan repair
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Clean or change filters on schedule
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
