Extract fan repair in Lord's Wood
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. If you have an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a fan that won’t start at all, we can help, from kitchen extract fans, bearings and roof and wall fans onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Part by part
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We will tell you if that’s what we find and explain what we found.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
The process
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Lord's Wood.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- 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
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Extract fan repair in Lord's Wood: local notes
There are about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 9 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Lord's Wood, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Lord's Wood. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Lord's Wood, can seize between uses.

Do you need extract fan repair in Lord's Wood?
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats, trips out or eventually burns out.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A squealing belt on start-up
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Colden Common Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Why act early in Lord's Wood
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Lord's Wood rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

What else we do in Lord's Wood
Lord's Wood: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Lord's Wood?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Lord's Wood. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Do you work overnight in Lord's Wood?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Typically, a fan repair takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Where parts need ordering, we’ll explain the timescale.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
