Extract fan repair and replacement in Hundred Acres, Hampshire
For extract fan repair in Hundred Acres, one call is all it takes: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Never run the extract with filters missing
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
Noise is usually the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
How we handle extract fan repair in Hundred Acres

What affects the quote in Hundred Acres
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The scale of the work
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
What staff can safely do
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Do you need extract fan repair in Hundred Acres?
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Hundred Acres, can seize between uses.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Why act early in Hundred Acres
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Hundred Acres gets to the real cause. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Trading since 2009
- Photo reports with every job
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day

Part by part
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that’s the cause, we will say so so you know who to call.
