Extract fan repair in Little Posbrook, done properly
Wherever your kitchen is in Little Posbrook, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. The work covers roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and fan motors, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a knocking noise from the extract fan.
For a fan repair in or near Little Posbrook, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Little Posbrook questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Little Posbrook?
That’s Fareham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Little Posbrook. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Little Posbrook at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Little Posbrook is part of our area. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How long will the fan be out of action?
It depends on the fault, but as a guide it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. We will give you a better idea once we have diagnosed it.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Why act early in Little Posbrook
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Little Posbrook gets to the real cause. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Common problems we fix in Little Posbrook
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that’s a common source of rattles.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan that will not start at all
- A fan that keeps cutting out
For school kitchens, at schools like Stubbington House School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
