About our extract fan repair in Itchen Stoke
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we will say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. We’re often asked to deal with an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, on belts and pulleys, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.
In a village or hamlet like Itchen Stoke, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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, alongside our reports.
How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
What we’re called out for in Itchen Stoke
Kitchen extract fans in Itchen Stoke face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- An overheating extract motor
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Itchen Stoke, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether they recommend a next date
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Itchen Stoke before we set off.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, 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.
Why deal with it now?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. In a place like Itchen Stoke, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Questions from Itchen Stoke
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Itchen Stoke at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Itchen Stoke can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you come to Itchen Stoke after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Itchen Stoke keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The times the site is available
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.
