Common questions in Fawley Bottom
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Fawley Bottom?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Fawley Bottom is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do you work at weekends in Fawley Bottom?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Fawley Bottom can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Typically, a fan repair takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Where parts need ordering, we will explain the timescale.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
How we handle extract fan repair in Fawley Bottom
Working on a fan in Fawley Bottom means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you’re cooking. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan motors and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about a whining or grinding extract motor and an old fan that needs replacing.
Somewhere as small as Fawley Bottom, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Do you need extract fan repair in Fawley Bottom?
Kitchen extract fans in Fawley Bottom face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan that will not start at all
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Hall kitchens near St Mary the Virgin's Church, or anywhere around Fawley Bottom, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
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.
Why book with us
- In business since 2009
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- A fixed price before any work starts
- A written report with photos after each visit
Take a look at what affects the cost or our accreditations.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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.
How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. The timing of a visit to Fawley Bottom is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

What affects the quote in Fawley Bottom
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site rules, permits and inductions
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Problems your staff have spotted
If you need extract fan repair in Fawley Bottom, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
What a clean will not put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
