Extractor fan repair in Landport
Extract fan repair for Landport and the surrounding area: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Call for a fixed quote.
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan that will not start at all
Common problems we fix in Landport
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan that will not start at all
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Ark Dickens Primary Academy, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Extract fan repair in Landport, done properly
Working on a fan in Landport means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you are cooking. Common call-outs are for an overheating extract motor and a knocking noise from the extract fan, across kitchen extract fans, bearings and roof and wall fans.
Around a place like Landport, a pub, café or care home kitchen with a failed fan cannot carry on cooking as normal. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Why act early in Landport
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Booking now means the visit to Landport is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How the visit works
We turn up 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 first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Landport, so let us know how to reach it.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Landport
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Common questions in Landport
Does being near the coast affect extract fan repair in Landport?
It can. Salt air reaches Landport, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Which council inspects kitchens in Landport?
Food hygiene inspections in Landport are carried out by Portsmouth council. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
In many cases, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
Does the extract need to be off for a fan repair?
We isolate the fan for safety. We plan the visit around your hours, so service is not lost.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Extract fan repair in Landport: local notes
At about 1 mile from the coast, Landport is close enough for sea air to matter. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. Food Standards Agency records list about 261 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 138 takeaways across Landport and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Environmental health officers from Portsmouth council inspect food businesses in Landport. 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.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Landport, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. For a takeaway near Portsmouth & Southsea station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.
