About our extract fan repair in Lee-on-the-Solent
Working on a fan in Lee-on-the-Solent means switching the extract off first, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. Common call-outs are for poor airflow at the canopy and a motor that trips out or overheats, on belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and bearings.
For a fan repair near Lee-on-the-Solent, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, so photos of the fan and its rating plate help.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
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.
Aftercare tips
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You’ll hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
What happens on the day
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. In a place like Lee-on-the-Solent, we fit the visit around your hours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- A single visit or a regular plan
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Extract fan repair around Lee-on-the-Solent
Lee-on-the-Solent lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust.

A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once.

Leave it or put it right?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Lee-on-the-Solent than wait for a failure.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Why book with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- A written report with photos after each visit

Your questions about extract fan repair in Lee-on-the-Solent
Is extract fan repair any different in a coastal place like Lee-on-the-Solent?
It can. Lee-on-the-Solent is within about 1 mile of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Will you come out to Lee-on-the-Solent?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
