Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Hatherden
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. Typical jobs include a failed fan that needs a replacement and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, on roof and wall fans, bearings and fan housings.
Somewhere as small as Hatherden, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each 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.

FAQs for Hatherden
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Hatherden?
In Hatherden, 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.
Is Hatherden within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Hatherden included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
Who do we call if the fan stops in the middle of cooking?
You can reach our emergency line day or night. Cooking without working extraction isn’t sensible so we will work to get it back in service.

What extract fan repair looks like in Hatherden
Food hygiene inspections in Hatherden are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
For school kitchens, at schools like Hatherden Church of England Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Christchurch or elsewhere in Hatherden, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

What we work on in Hatherden
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
Part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
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 a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Hatherden and turn up when the site is quiet.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- 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
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
