Common problems we fix in Frogham
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A dead fan motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Ascension, or anywhere in Frogham, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Frogham
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. Common call-outs are for a fan that whines, hums or grinds and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, on bearings, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans.
In a village or hamlet like Frogham, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

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. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Frogham run smoothly.

Common questions in Frogham
Do you cover smaller places like Frogham?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you work in Frogham outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Frogham keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
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.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
In many cases, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will arrange a diagnosis.
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job, so we ask about it early.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

What else we do in Frogham
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Fan housings

What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
When a fan fails in Frogham
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Frogham. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Frogham. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Hyde Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term.
