Extract fan repair in Fordingbridge, done properly
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. If you have a fan rattling in its housing and a squealing belt on start-up, we can put it right.
In a place like Fordingbridge, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Clean or change filters on schedule
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
What a clean won’t put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Fordingbridge
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Fordingbridge: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Fordingbridge?
Food hygiene inspections in Fordingbridge are carried out by New Forest council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Fordingbridge?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Fordingbridge is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
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’ll always say when repair makes sense.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that is one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How we price extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Need a price for extract fan repair? Please ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us about the site. We’ll talk you through the work and send you a fixed quote before you commit to anything.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Fordingbridge when you book.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Related advice
What extract fan repair looks like in Fordingbridge
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 11 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Fordingbridge. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. In Fordingbridge, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Fordingbridge Junior School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Fordingbridge, can seize between uses.
