About our extract fan repair in Fareham Common
Grease and fans do not mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. Common call-outs are for an old fan that needs replacing and a fan that keeps cutting out, across fan motors, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans.
In a place like Fareham Common, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Extract fan repair in Fareham Common: local notes
Sea air reaches Fareham Common, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. Look up Fareham Common on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 74 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 11 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Fareham Common. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Environmental health officers from Fareham council inspect food businesses in Fareham Common. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
For school kitchens, at schools like Wykeham House School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Fareham Common, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
FAQs for Fareham Common
Can sea air affect extract fan repair in Fareham Common?
It can, as Fareham Common is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Outdoor metalwork near the sea is worth inspecting at every visit.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Fareham Common?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Fareham Common is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. For a site near Fareham Common, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
