Extract fan repair in Frithend, done properly
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. If you are dealing with an old fan that needs replacing and a fan shaking on its mountings, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens if it’s left?
A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. In a place like Frithend, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Frithend
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Frithend?
In Frithend, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Can you work in Frithend outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We can’t price it without knowing the fault. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for whichever option you choose.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy every part is to reach
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The scale of the work
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, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- 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
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Do you need extract fan repair in Frithend?
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan shaking on its mountings
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near The Church Of The Good Shepherd or elsewhere in Frithend, can seize between uses.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a survey comes first
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
