How we handle extract fan repair in Hensting
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan housings and fan motors, and people most often call us about poor airflow at the canopy and a knocking noise from the extract fan.
A callout to a small place like Hensting goes better when we know what we are looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Extract fans in Hensting
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Hensting, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In Hensting, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.

The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Hensting.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
What we are called out for in Hensting
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan that will not start at all
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A worn or slipping fan belt
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Hensting, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether they’re fully insured
Hensting: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Hensting?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which environmental health team covers Hensting?
In Hensting, it’s Winchester City 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.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.
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.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Hensting
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
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. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
