How we handle extract fan repair in Laverstoke
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. Common call-outs are for vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a humming noise from the fan motor, on roof and wall fans, fan housings and fan motors.
For a fan repair in or near Laverstoke, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:

Laverstoke questions
Which environmental health team covers Laverstoke?
Kitchens in Laverstoke are inspected by Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Laverstoke?
Laverstoke is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
We look at repairing it first. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer and we will tell you the reasons.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Noise normally comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different and we find the exact cause on site.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan typically means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes, so we ask about it early.
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it, and we’ll explain why.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Laverstoke 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.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear loose items from the work area

Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What extract fan repair looks like in Laverstoke

A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. About 55 miles out from central London, Laverstoke is part of the South East area we work across.

When to call us in Laverstoke
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
Hall kitchens near St Nicholas' Church, or anywhere around Laverstoke, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
