When to call us in Funtley
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Clients usually contact us after spotting something like this:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan that won’t start at all
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Orchard Lea Infant School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
What your quote should include
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether they’re fully insured
How we handle extract fan repair in Funtley
Kitchens in Funtley call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. Typical jobs include a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a whining or grinding extract motor, on fan motors, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans.
In a small place like Funtley, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Funtley.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. It’s simpler to plan the work at Funtley now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

FAQs for Funtley
Which council inspects kitchens in Funtley?
Kitchens in Funtley are inspected by Fareham council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Can you come to Funtley after we close?
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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
In many cases, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back and we only recommend replacement when repair doesn’t make sense.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What extract fan repair looks like in Funtley
Funtley is within about 3 miles of the coast. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. Food Standards Agency records list about 17 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 12 takeaways and sandwich shops in Funtley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. It’s Fareham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Funtley. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Francis or elsewhere in Funtley, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
