Lodsworth questions
Can you come to Lodsworth after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Lodsworth can fit around your hours. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Is Lodsworth within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lodsworth is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that is one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic, then give you a fixed quote.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we will talk you through what’s involved.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Lodsworth
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further.

- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.

- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Why it’s worth doing now in Lodsworth
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. If the system at a site near Lodsworth fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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.
