Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Earlstone Common
Wherever your kitchen is in Earlstone Common, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. If you have poor airflow at the canopy and a humming noise from the fan motor, we can put it right.
In a small place like Earlstone Common, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What extract fan repair looks like in Earlstone Common
Kitchens in Earlstone Common get their food hygiene inspections from Basingstoke and Deane council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. We cover Earlstone Common, about 54 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.
For school kitchens, at schools like The Clere School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Earlstone Common: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Earlstone Common?
Kitchens in Earlstone Common are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health officers. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Earlstone Common out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in Earlstone Common are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We cannot price it without knowing the fault. After we’ve checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Often, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
For landlords and multi-site operators
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When to call us in Earlstone Common
Kitchen extract fans in Earlstone Common face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A fan that won’t start at all
Hall kitchens near Church of the Ascension, or anywhere around Earlstone Common, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
What to look for in a quote
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
