East Meon extract fan repair
Our technicians work in East Meon on extract fan repair. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures on every job.
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures 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. The timing of a visit to East Meon is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- 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
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas

Extract fan repair in East Meon
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. 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 have a belt-driven fan that squeals and a humming noise from the fan motor, we can help, from kitchen extract fans, bearings and fan motors onwards.

Extract fans in East Meon
In East Meon, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. We cover East Meon, about 54 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.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as East Meon Church of England Controlled Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

What we’re called out for in East Meon
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in East Meon, can seize between uses.
What your quote should include
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What insurance they carry
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What hours they’ll be on site
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in East Meon and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Leave it or put it right?
In East Meon, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. Somewhere as small as East Meon, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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.
