Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Compton
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. The work covers kitchen extract fans, bearings and roof and wall fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that won’t start at all and a worn or slipping fan belt.
In a small place like Compton, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need extract fan repair in Compton?
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- An overheating extract motor
If you run a café or takeaway near Shawford station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.

What else we do in Compton
Part by part
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning will not help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding normally come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.
Common questions in Compton
Do you cover Compton for emergency fan repairs?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Compton is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Compton?
In Compton, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Extract fans in Compton
Food Standards Agency records list about 9 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Compton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Compton. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Compton All Saints Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts. Hall kitchens near Church of All Saints, or anywhere around Compton, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system

Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
