About our extract fan repair in Havant
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. The work covers fan housings, belts and pulleys and bearings, and people most often call us about a belt-driven fan that squeals and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
Extract fans on buildings in towns like Havant are often on a flat roof or an outside wall, where they take the weather as well as the grease. Belts, bearings and motors wear out in the end.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Havant: your questions answered
Is extract fan repair any different in a coastal place like Havant?
It can. Salt air reaches Havant, which is within about 2 miles of the coast, and it speeds up rust. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Havant out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in Havant can be reported on our emergency line. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan, with a certificate and photo report.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Each sounds a little different and we find the exact cause on site.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.

Extract fan repair around Havant
Sea air reaches Havant, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air is hard on fan housings, motors and fixings on roofs and outside walls. There are about 47 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 44 takeaways and sandwich shops across Havant and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In Havant, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Havant council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. 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 St Francis or elsewhere in Havant, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Trosnant Infant School, rather than mid-term.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Photos taken on a phone are typically enough for us to plan a job in Havant and give a fixed quote.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We’ll tell you if that is what we find so you know who to call.
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
When to call us in Havant
Kitchen extract fans in Havant face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you run a kitchen close to Havant station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.
