Extract fan repair in Froyle

Grease and fans don’t mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan housings and fan motors, and people most often call us about a fan that won’t start at all and a squealing belt on start-up.

In a village or hamlet like Froyle, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. 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’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

How it works

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Froyle.

  1. First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
  2. The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
  3. Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
  4. We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
  5. Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.

Preparing for the visit

  • Have your last certificate or report to hand
  • Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
  • Let us know about parking and loading

FAQs for Froyle

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Froyle?

Food hygiene inspections in Froyle are carried out by East Hampshire council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.

Is Froyle within the area you cover?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Froyle is covered. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.

What if our extract fan fails during service?

Call our 24/7 emergency line. We’ll take the details and get an engineer to you as soon as we can.

What is TR19?

TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

Does the extract need to be off for a fan repair?

We need the extract switched off during the repair, so the kitchen cannot cook under it. We book the work outside your service times wherever possible.

How much notice should we give?

Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?

The price depends on the diagnosis. After we’ve checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.

Part by part

Roof and wall-mounted fans

Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes and we plan around it.

Fan controls

Controls are checked as well as the fan itself since the motor is not always to blame.

For landlords and multi-site operators

If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Froyle

Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats, trips out or eventually burns out.

Any of these means the system needs a check-up:

  • A knocking noise from the extract fan
  • An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
  • Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
  • An old fan that needs replacing

A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary of the Assumption or elsewhere in Froyle, can seize between uses.

Comparing quotes

  • Exactly which parts of the system are covered
  • Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
  • If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
  • What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

What staff can safely do

Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.

If your staff spot something 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 can diagnose it and quote.

What affects the quote in Froyle

Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:

  • Working hours and out-of-hours timing
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • The condition of the system
  • Where the site is and how we reach it

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

What we need to know

When you contact us, these details help:

  • Your last certificate, test record or report
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to

Why act early in Froyle

Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
