Extract fan repair and replacement in Hale, Hampshire
Extract fan repair for commercial sites in Hale and across Hampshire. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A worn or slipping fan belt
What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Extract fan repair in Hale, done properly
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan motors and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about an extract fan that has stopped working and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork.
In a small place like Hale, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

How we price extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
What extract fan repair looks like in Hale
Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Hale. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Hale, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Common questions in Hale
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hale?
In Hale, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Can you work in Hale outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Hale keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
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.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hale and turn up when the site is quiet.
- 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.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
Do you need extract fan repair in Hale?
Fans everywhere, Hale included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Clients normally contact us when they notice something like this:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
For school kitchens, at schools like Hale Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of insurance
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
Multi-site and managed buildings
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.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
