Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Hiltingbury
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that is what we will recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. The work covers fan motors, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan worn beyond sensible repair and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen.
In a smaller place like Hiltingbury, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. That’s what our 24/7 emergency callout is for.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Why it’s worth doing now in Hiltingbury
A fan that is running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. In a smaller place like Hiltingbury, a site that has to close is felt quickly.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Why Hiltingbury businesses choose us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. For a place like Hiltingbury, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- 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.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Extract fan repair around Hiltingbury
There are about 18 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 15 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Hiltingbury, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. It’s Eastleigh council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hiltingbury. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
For school kitchens, at schools like Hiltingbury Junior School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Hiltingbury questions
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Hiltingbury?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Hiltingbury is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Hiltingbury?
Kitchens in Hiltingbury are inspected by Eastleigh council’s environmental health officers. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Where parts need ordering, we’ll explain the timescale.
Do you need extract fan repair in Hiltingbury?
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St. Martin in the Woods, or anywhere in Hiltingbury, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures

- Whether they recommend a next date
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Hiltingbury
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.

You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
