About our extract fan repair in Goose Hill
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. If you are dealing with a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a whining or grinding extract motor, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Goose Hill, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Goose Hill
Can you come to Goose Hill after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Goose Hill keeps running as normal. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Goose Hill?
Food hygiene inspections in Goose Hill are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. The timing of a visit to Goose Hill is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.

Advice
Nearby places to Goose Hill

How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
What we’re called out for in Goose Hill
In Goose Hill, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- An overheating extract motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that won’t start at all
- An old fan that needs replacing
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Paul or elsewhere in Goose Hill, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Goose Hill
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

What extract fan repair cannot fix

- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Roof and wall fans

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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, and that is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
