Great Shoddesden extract fan repair
We cover Great Shoddesden for repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- A fan that will not start at all
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A worn or slipping fan belt
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
How we handle extract fan repair in Great Shoddesden
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. Typical jobs include a fan that won’t start at all and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, on kitchen extract fans, fan housings and roof and wall fans.
Somewhere as small as Great Shoddesden, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Great Shoddesden
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A humming noise from the fan motor
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Ludgershall Castle Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Before you book anyone
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- When the next visit should be, and why
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Why act early in Great Shoddesden
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Questions from Great Shoddesden
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Great Shoddesden at night?
Extract fan emergencies in Great Shoddesden are covered around the clock. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Great Shoddesden?
In Great Shoddesden, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance and that is one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
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.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
