Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Keyhaven
Grease and fans don’t mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. If you have an old fan that needs replacing and a fan shaking on its mountings, we can help.
A callout to a small place like Keyhaven goes better when we know what we’re looking at: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why deal with it now?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. A planned visit to Keyhaven is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Why Keyhaven businesses choose us
- We’re fully insured
- A fixed price before any work starts
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

What extract fan repair looks like in Keyhaven
At about 1 mile from the coast, Keyhaven is close enough for sea air to matter. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. Look up Keyhaven on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 16 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Keyhaven, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Kitchens in Keyhaven get their food hygiene inspections from New Forest council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
For school kitchens, at schools like Milford-on-Sea Church of England Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
Keyhaven is about 3 miles south of Lymington, in Hampshire. Keyhaven 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 photos. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, and Keyhaven is one of them. You can also see our page for Southampton, roughly 16 miles from Keyhaven.
Work in SO41 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. Extract fan repair is available to premises on New Road, Keyhaven Road and Saltgrass Lane and nearby roads. We also cover the places around Keyhaven: Milford on Sea (1 mile west), Lymore (1 mile north-west), Lower Pennington (1 mile north-east), Everton (2 miles north-west) and Pennington (2 miles north). We also work in nearby towns such as Totton (14 miles north), Hythe (12 miles north-east), New Milton (4 miles north-west), Ringwood (13 miles north-west), Warsash (15 miles north-east) and Barton on Sea (4 miles west).
Near you in Keyhaven
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Gun Public House and Priestlands School. Keyhaven’s nearest station is Lymington Town station, roughly 3 miles north-east of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find St Barbe Museum and Art Gallery (2.8 miles north-east) and Yarmouth Castle (3.3 miles east). Open spaces near Keyhaven include Milford on Sea LNR and Tennyson Down.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Common problems we fix in Keyhaven
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
Hall kitchens near Church of All Saints, or anywhere around Keyhaven, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

What else we do in Keyhaven
Keyhaven: your questions answered
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Keyhaven out of hours?
Keyhaven is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Do you work in villages like Keyhaven?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Keyhaven is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
That depends on what’s wrong, but most jobs take an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. We will give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Keyhaven can be planned properly.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
