Extract fan repair in Ellingham
Kitchens in Ellingham call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Typical jobs include weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a knocking noise from the extract fan, on kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and bearings.
In a village or hamlet like Ellingham, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Do you need extract fan repair in Ellingham?
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind, and if they’re left they can seize.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mary and All Saints, or anywhere in Ellingham, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Extract fans in Ellingham
Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Ellingham. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Ringwood School Academy, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Well-known places in the area include Fordingbridge Doll Museum (3.8 miles north) and St Leonard's Hospital (4.6 miles south-west). The countryside around Ellingham includes Linbrook Lake and Blashford Lakes.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Questions from Ellingham
Can the work in Ellingham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Ellingham keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Ellingham?
Kitchens in Ellingham are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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 TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Often, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back, and we will always say when repair makes sense.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Is Ellingham in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Ellingham, within the South East and London area we cover.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Ellingham
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 send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
How we price extract fan repair
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- What state the system is in
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Ellingham run smoothly.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
Leave it or put it right?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly and the fan may stop when you are busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. A planned visit to Ellingham is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
