How we handle extract fan repair in Holmbury St Mary
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. If you’re dealing with weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a belt-driven fan that squeals, we can help, from fan housings, bearings and belts and pulleys onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Holmbury St Mary, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises

Leave it or put it right?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. If the system at a site near Holmbury St Mary fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Why book with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- A written report with photos after every visit
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- One number for every site across the South East and London

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You will hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.

Common questions in Holmbury St Mary
Do you work in villages like Holmbury St Mary?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Holmbury St Mary included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Holmbury St Mary out of hours?
Holmbury St Mary is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How it works
Your trading hours come first. 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 work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Holmbury St Mary.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.

Before we arrive
