Part by part
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and make it shake.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What affects the quote in Cowplain
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How easy every part is to reach
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Everything the job in Cowplain 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 get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Getting a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
When something else is needed
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Extract fans in Cowplain
Food Standards Agency data counts about 36 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 28 takeaways across Cowplain and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Kitchens in Cowplain get their food hygiene inspections from Havant council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. We cover Cowplain, about 58 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Hall kitchens near The Hart Plain Church, or anywhere around Cowplain, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

What we are called out for in Cowplain
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Woodcroft Primary or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Common questions in Cowplain
Do you work in villages like Cowplain?
Yes. Cowplain is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Cowplain at night?
Cowplain is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
In many cases, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts and we only recommend replacement when repair doesn’t make sense.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
