How we handle extract fan repair in Headley Down
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we’ll say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. Common call-outs are for poor airflow at the canopy and a failed fan that needs a replacement, across roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and fan housings.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Headley Down often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer, and we will explain the options.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Never run the extract with filters missing
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Noise is usually the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.

Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. A planned visit to Headley Down fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

What extract fan repair looks like in Headley Down
Food hygiene inspections in Headley Down are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. At about 40 miles from central London, Headley Down sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like The Holme Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts. Hall kitchens near Church of All Saints, or anywhere around Headley Down, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. 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 job takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. For a site near Headley Down, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear the space around the work

Part by part
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Headley Down questions
Do you work in villages like Headley Down?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Headley Down included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work overnight in Headley Down?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Headley Down needn’t be disturbed. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Often it makes sense to do both. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What affects the quote in Headley Down
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.
