What affects the quote in Fleet
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Extract fan repair in Fleet
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. The work covers kitchen extract fans, bearings and roof and wall fans, and common reasons people get in touch are weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a motor that trips out or overheats.
In a town like Fleet, a failed fan typically means a closed kitchen. That’s why our emergency line runs 24/7, with repair or replacement planned from what we find.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What else we do in Fleet
What we are called out for in Fleet
Fans everywhere, Fleet included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan that will not start at all
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A squealing belt on start-up
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Heatherside Junior School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Questions to ask before booking
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and renew them where necessary.
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Questions from Fleet
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Fleet?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Fleet is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Do you work at weekends in Fleet?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before work begins.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
It depends on the fault, but as a guide it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. You’ll know more once we have found the fault.
Why it’s worth doing now in Fleet
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. If an inspection, an insurer’s survey or a fire risk assessment is coming up in Fleet, having the work done and recorded first helps.
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 play a part.

Extract fans in Fleet
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 44 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 22 takeaways and sandwich shops across Fleet and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. We cover Fleet, about 36 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. Kitchens in Fleet get their food hygiene inspections from Hart council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Fleet Methodist Church or elsewhere in Fleet, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Fleet
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 can quote for the whole system.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
