About our extract fan repair in Gosport

Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before we start. Typical jobs include a failed fan that needs a replacement and a fan rattling in its housing, across belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and bearings.

A callout to a small place like Gosport goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.

Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Extract fan repair around Gosport

Look up Gosport on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Gosport, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In Gosport, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. 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 Ampfield Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term.

Aftercare tips

How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:

  • Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
  • Note when the fan trips or cuts out
  • Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
  • Clean or change filters on schedule

Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.

The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.

How it works

Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself 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 Gosport run smoothly.

  1. First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
  2. With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
  3. We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
  4. You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
  5. Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
  • Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Related advice

What the work involves, part by part

Roof and wall-mounted fans

Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.

Fan controls

Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.

Honest limits

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

  • An extract system that was undersized from the start
  • Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
  • Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

What we work on in Gosport

  • Bearings
  • Belts and pulleys
  • Kitchen extract fans
  • Fan motors
  • Roof and wall fans
  • Fan housings

What we’re called out for in Gosport

Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Gosport or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
  • A motor that trips out or overheats
  • A knocking noise from the extract fan
  • An extract fan that has stopped working

If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mark, or anywhere in Gosport, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Before booking anyone

  • When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
  • What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed

How to choose an extract cleaning contractor

Your questions about extract fan repair in Gosport

Can you come to Gosport after we close?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.

Which council inspects kitchens in Gosport?

Food hygiene inspections in Gosport are carried out by Test Valley council. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.

What accreditations do you have?

CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

Who has the legal duty for fire safety?

In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.

What should go in our maintenance log?

Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:

  • The condition we find in the survey
  • How easy every part is to reach
  • Travel, parking and unloading
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What we need to know

Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:

  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • A few general shots of the system

To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
