Extract fan repair and replacement in Hartley Mauditt, Hampshire
Extract fan repair for Hartley Mauditt, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
How we handle extract fan repair in Hartley Mauditt
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Hartley Mauditt, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. The work covers fan housings, bearings and kitchen extract fans, and the jobs we see most are an old fan that needs replacing and a fan that whines, hums or grinds.
For a fan repair in or near Hartley Mauditt, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding normally come from the bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself before recommending a fix.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Fan motors
- Fan housings

Hartley Mauditt: your questions answered
Is Hartley Mauditt within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hartley Mauditt included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hartley Mauditt?
Food hygiene inspections in Hartley Mauditt are carried out by East Hampshire council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes, when repair does not make sense. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs before recommending a unit.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Often, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Every site has its own report.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
A typical repair takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed including running the fan afterwards. We plan the work around your service where possible.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hartley Mauditt
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Planning a trip to Hartley Mauditt ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. The timing of a visit to Hartley Mauditt is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Hartley Mauditt
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
What extract fan repair looks like in Hartley Mauditt
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Hartley Mauditt and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out.

The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Food hygiene inspections in Hartley Mauditt are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Leonard's Church, or anywhere in Hartley Mauditt, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. Kitchens in Hartley Mauditt can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Report new noises from the fan early
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. 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, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
