In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
About our extract fan repair in Lower Burgate
Wherever your kitchen is in Lower Burgate, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you are cooking. Typical jobs include weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and an extract fan that has stopped working, across bearings, kitchen extract fans and fan housings.
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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Extract fan repair around Lower Burgate
Food Standards Agency data counts about 11 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 7 takeaways in and around Lower Burgate, up to about a mile and a half out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Lower Burgate. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Lower Burgate, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Part by part
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option and we’ll talk you through it.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
What happens if it’s left?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Lower Burgate and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Lower Burgate
Can you work in Lower Burgate outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Lower Burgate keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which council inspects kitchens in Lower Burgate?
The local authority for Lower Burgate is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.

By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: 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.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Fan motors
Common problems we fix in Lower Burgate
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
What we are most often called out for:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A motor that trips out or overheats
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like The Burgate School and Sixth Form, fix a failing fan before term starts.
