How we handle extract fan repair in Conford
Working on a fan in Conford means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. If you have a failed fan that needs a replacement and a fan rattling in its housing, we can put it right, from bearings, roof and wall fans and fan housings onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Somewhere like Conford, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Part by part
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it and we’ll talk you through it.
Do you need extract fan repair in Conford?
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A dead fan motor
- A humming noise from the fan motor
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Liphook Infant School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

Your questions about extract fan repair in Conford
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Conford at night?
Conford is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Can you work in Conford outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
The ductwork is a separate job. We will tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
Extract fans in Conford

Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In Conford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
