For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Deadwater
Grease and fans do not mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. Typical jobs include a failed fan that needs a replacement and a fan that keeps cutting out, across bearings, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
In a smaller place like Deadwater, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Why deal with it now?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
One small site or a whole estate, 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.
Why book with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- We’re fully insured
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- Every visit written up, with pictures
When a fan fails in Deadwater
Food Standards Agency records list about 14 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 11 takeaways in and around Deadwater, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Deadwater. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. Deadwater, about 42 miles from central London, is within our usual area. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
For school kitchens, at schools like Mill Chase Academy for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. A site near Deadwater normally has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- 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.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system

Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and cause vibration.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
When to call us in Deadwater
In Deadwater, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan that won’t start at all
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Mark's Sacred Church or elsewhere in Deadwater, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
What your quote should include
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether VAT is included
Your questions about extract fan repair in Deadwater
Do you work at weekends in Deadwater?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Deadwater?
Kitchens in Deadwater are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Often it makes sense to do both. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
