Extract fan repair across Hardley and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.

Extract fan repair in Hardley, done properly
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. If you have an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a fan that keeps cutting out, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Hardley, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Hardley questions
Which environmental health team covers Hardley?
In Hardley, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Can you get to a site in Hardley?
Yes. Hardley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We’ll tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that’s one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
What a clean will not put right
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Fan housings
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
When a fan fails in Hardley
Hardley is within about 2 miles of the coast. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. Food Standards Agency records list about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 8 takeaways and sandwich shops in Hardley and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. In Hardley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Anne or elsewhere in Hardley, can seize between uses.
Hardley is about 2 miles south of Hythe, in Hampshire. For extract fan repair in and around Hardley, please call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for a fixed quote. Our area covers London and the South East, Hardley included. Hardley is one of 683 places in Hampshire we cover for extract fan repair.
Work in SO45 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. If you need extract fan repair at premises on Harrier Way, Harrier Green and Falconer Court or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. Close by, we work in Little Holbury (1 mile south), Holbury (1 mile south), Frostlane (1 mile north), Roughdown (1 mile south) and Blackfield (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Gosport (11 miles east), Eastleigh (9 miles north), Fareham (9 miles east), Totton (7 miles north-west), Chandler's Ford (10 miles north) and Hedge End (7 miles north-east).
Around Hardley
Typical jobs here are in premises near Manor Church of England Infant School and the streets around them. For rail, the closest station is Netley station, about 3.3 miles north-east. Well-known places in the area include Royal South Hants Hospital (5.1 miles north) and Beaulieu Abbey And Display Of Monastic Life (2.9 miles west). The countryside around Hardley includes Mercury Marshes.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Do you need extract fan repair in Hardley?
Not every problem is mechanical. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A squealing belt on start-up
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as The New Forest Academy, rather than mid-term.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Hardley
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
For extract fan repair in Hardley, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
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’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
How the visit works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Hardley.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.
