What affects the quote in Little Somborne
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The site address and the type of premises
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Little Somborne
Working on a fan in Little Somborne 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. The work covers belts and pulleys, bearings and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a dead fan motor and a humming noise from the fan motor.
In a small place like Little Somborne, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere like Little Somborne, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit

Little Somborne: your questions answered
Is Little Somborne within the area you cover?
Yes, Little Somborne is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Little Somborne?
Extract fan emergencies in Little Somborne are covered around the clock. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
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’ll explain why.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. Grease on the fan typically means grease in the ducts, and we can arrange both.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
We cannot price it without knowing the fault. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
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 cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
When a fan fails in Little Somborne
Food hygiene inspections in Little Somborne are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near All Saints Church, or anywhere in Little Somborne, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Common problems we fix in Little Somborne
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
Around Little Somborne, a failed fan can be reported day or night on our 24/7 line.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Why deal with it now?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. In a place like Little Somborne, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
