Extract fan repair in Hordle, done properly
Across Hordle, 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 the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. We’re often asked to deal with a belt-driven fan that squeals and a failed fan that needs a replacement, across fan motors, bearings and belts and pulleys.
A callout to a place like Hordle is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, so photos of the fan and its rating plate help.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Hordle
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Hordle: your questions answered
Can the work in Hordle be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Hordle needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who inspects food businesses in Hordle?
In Hordle, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we will tell you the reasons.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Is Hordle in your area?
Yes. We cover Hordle and the rest of Hampshire, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before we start.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Extract fan repair in Hordle: local notes
The coast is only about 2 miles from Hordle. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. Food Standards Agency data counts about 17 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Hordle, up to about a mile and a half out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Hordle. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Hordle CofE (VA) Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Hordle is about 3 miles west of Lymington, in Hampshire. Across the SO41 area, we can take on extract fan repair. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, and Hordle is one of them. We also work in Southampton, around 15 miles away.
Work in SO41 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. That includes premises on Yerville Gardens, Acacia Road and Woodlands and the roads around them. Close by, we work in Downton (1 mile south), Leagreen (1 mile south), Ashley (1 mile west), Tiptoe (2 miles north) and New Milton (2 miles west). Larger places within reach include Totton (12 miles north-east), Lymington (3 miles east), Hythe (12 miles north-east), Ringwood (9 miles north-west), Dibden Purlieu (11 miles north-east) and Marchwood (12 miles north-east).
Around Hordle
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Arnewood School. The closest station to Hordle is New Milton station, roughly 1.7 miles west. Other landmarks nearby include Sammy Miller Motorcycle Museum (2.4 miles west) and Highcliffe Castle (4.4 miles west). For a walk, there’s Milford on Sea LNR.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
Common problems we fix in Hordle
In Hordle, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A fan shaking on its mountings
Hall kitchens near Church of All Saints, or anywhere around Hordle, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hordle
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
