How we handle extract fan repair in Headbourne Worthy
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that will not start may have a motor or control fault. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before we start. If you are dealing with a fan worn beyond sensible repair and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, we can put it right, from bearings, belts and pulleys and fan motors onwards.
Somewhere as small as Headbourne Worthy, 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Headbourne Worthy: your questions answered
Can you come to Headbourne Worthy after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Headbourne Worthy at night?
Headbourne Worthy is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
It depends on the fault, but most jobs take an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. We’ll give you a better idea once we have diagnosed it.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you need extract fan repair in Headbourne Worthy?
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A motor that trips out or overheats
For school kitchens, at schools like Kings Worthy Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Extract fan repair in Headbourne Worthy: local notes
There are about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Headbourne Worthy, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Headbourne Worthy. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. Headbourne Worthy is about 59 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Headbourne Worthy, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Why it’s worth doing now in Headbourne Worthy
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Grease on the fan normally means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Headbourne Worthy before we set off.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
