How we handle extract fan repair in Hedge End

For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. If you’re dealing with weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a fan rattling in its housing, we can put it right.
Many fans around a town like Hedge End sit on a flat roof or an outside wall, exposed to wind and rain as well as grease. In time, belts, bearings and motors wear.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Do you need extract fan repair in Hedge End?
Kitchen extract fans in Hedge End face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan that keeps cutting out
For school kitchens, at schools like Shamblehurst Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
Questions to ask before booking
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding usually come from the bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself and then recommend the fix.
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Hedge End questions
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Hedge End at night?
Hedge End is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can you come to Hedge End after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
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 it takes a risk-based approach.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
It depends on the fault, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We’ll give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Hedge End
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
When a fan fails in Hedge End
Food Standards Agency records list about 41 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 19 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Hedge End, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Hedge End are the job of Eastleigh council’s environmental health team. 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 look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Hedge End, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
