Leave it or put it right?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. It’s simpler to plan the work at Hound now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

Extract fan repair in Hound, done properly
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. Typical jobs include a humming noise from the fan motor and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, across bearings, fan motors and fan housings.
Somewhere as small as Hound, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. 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. Somewhere like Hound, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Advice
What extract fan repair looks like in Hound
Hound lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 34 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 14 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hound. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. In Hound, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Eastleigh council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as The Hamble School, rather than mid-term. If you run a café or takeaway near Netley station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Hound, can seize between uses.
Hound is about 3 miles east of Hythe, in Hampshire. Hound gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, and Hound is one of them.
Work in SO31 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. Whether your site is on Hound Road, Hound Road Gardens and Hound Close or a nearby road, we can help. Other places close to Hound include Butlocks Heath (1 mile north), Netley (1 mile north-west), Hamble-le-Rice (1 mile south-east), Old Netley (1 mile north-east) and Bursledon (1 mile north-east). Within a short drive, we also cover Winchester (13 miles north), Gosport (9 miles south-east), Havant (15 miles east), Eastleigh (6 miles north), Fareham (6 miles east) and Horndean (14 miles east).
Landmarks near Hound
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Netley Abbey Infant School, Westwood Woodland Park and Prince Consort Public House and the streets around them.

Not far away are Mercury Marshes.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that will not start isn’t always a failed motor.
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
