Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in East Stratton
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that’s what we’ll recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. Common call-outs are for an extract fan that has stopped working and an old fan that needs replacing, across kitchen extract fans, fan motors and belts and pulleys.
In a village or hamlet like East Stratton, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we’re called out for in East Stratton
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- An overheating extract motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A worn or slipping fan belt
Kitchens in East Stratton can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What hours they’ll be on site
What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to East Stratton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.

What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think.

FAQs for East Stratton
Who inspects food businesses in East Stratton?
Food hygiene inspections in East Stratton are carried out by Winchester City council. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can you work in East Stratton outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in East Stratton can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you work in East Stratton?
Yes. We work in East Stratton and the rest of Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We will tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that can’t wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. 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.
How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
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. In a small place like East Stratton, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
