What happens on the day

Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Somewhere like Hipley, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Hipley
Across Hipley, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. Common call-outs are for a failed fan that needs a replacement and an extract fan that has stopped working, across fan motors, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What extract fan repair looks like in Hipley
Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Hipley. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Newtown Soberton Infant School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Why deal with it now?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
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, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
What else we do in Hipley
What the work involves, part by part
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.
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that’s the cause, we will say so and explain what we found.
When to call us in Hipley
Fan bearings do not 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 are asked about most are:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Hipley, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Hipley questions
Can you work in Hipley outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Hipley?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Hipley is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
