Durford Wood extract fan repair
We cover Durford Wood for extract fan repair. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Durford Wood
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. The work covers fan housings, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a dead fan motor.
In a small place like Durford Wood, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

How we price extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- What state the system is in
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 we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
Extract fans in Durford Wood
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 takeaways in and around Durford Wood, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. We cover Durford Wood, about 47 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Durford Wood. 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.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Durford Wood, can seize between uses.

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. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Durford Wood.
- 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.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

When to call us in Durford Wood
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An old fan that needs replacing
If you manage a school such as Liss Infant School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Part by part
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs as long as the bearings are still sound.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Durford Wood
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Durford Wood?
That’s East Hampshire council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Durford Wood. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you work overnight in Durford Wood?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Durford Wood needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Most fan jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault including running the fan afterwards. We plan the work around your service wherever we can.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you work in Durford Wood?
Yes. Our technicians work in Durford Wood, within the South East and London area we cover.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
