Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Durrants
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. If you’re dealing with a humming noise from the fan motor and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, we can put it right, from roof and wall fans, fan motors and fan housings onwards.
In a small place like Durrants, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch

Common problems we fix in Durrants
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A dead fan motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Durrants, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Proof of insurance
- What paperwork you get at the end
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Durrants.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

How we price extract fan repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.

Questions from Durrants
Does being near the coast affect extract fan repair in Durrants?
It can, as Durrants is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Which environmental health team covers Durrants?
Food hygiene inspections in Durrants are carried out by East Hampshire council. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Typically, a fan repair takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that is likely to be.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Extract fans in Durrants
Durrants is within about 3 miles of the coast. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. Food Standards Agency data counts about 14 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 20 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Durrants. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Food hygiene inspections in Durrants are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
For kitchens close to Rowlands Castle station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Havant Academy, rather than mid-term.
