Extract fan repair in Coxford
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. If you have a knocking noise from the extract fan and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, we can put it right.
For a fan repair near Coxford, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, based on what you tell us about the fan.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and cause vibration.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself since the motor is not always to blame.

Common questions in Coxford
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Coxford?
Kitchens in Coxford are inspected by Southampton council’s environmental health officers. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Coxford at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Coxford is part of our area. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Extract fan repair around Coxford
At about 2 miles from the coast, Coxford is close enough for sea air to matter. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 63 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 46 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Coxford. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Kitchens in Coxford get their food hygiene inspections from Southampton council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Shirley Warren Primary & Nursery School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Coxford
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. For a place like Coxford, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Why act early in Coxford
A fan that is running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Coxford than wait for a failure.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Common problems we fix in Coxford
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A worn or slipping fan belt
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Jude's Church, or anywhere in Coxford, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
