Extract fan repair in Hatch Warren, done properly
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. If you have an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a squealing belt on start-up, we can help, from fan motors, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans onwards.
Around a place like Hatch Warren, a pub, café or care home kitchen with a failed fan cannot carry on cooking as normal. That’s what our 24/7 emergency callout is for.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Part by part
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Cleaning it can cure the noise as long as the bearings are still sound.
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.

What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Your opening hours decide when we come to Hatch Warren, not ours.
- 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.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear the space around the work
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
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. Booking now means the visit to Hatch Warren is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve

Can the work in Hatch Warren be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Hatch Warren doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which environmental health team covers Hatch Warren?
That is Basingstoke and Deane council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hatch Warren. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
It depends on the fault. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

How we price extract fan repair
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Travel, parking and unloading
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any previous report or certificate
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
If you need extract fan repair in Hatch Warren, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. We typically send a fixed quote within one working day.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
