Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Lower Swanwick
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that is what we will recommend. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. The work covers fan housings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract fan that has stopped working and an overheating extract motor.
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 pictures, 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.

Why it’s worth doing now in Lower Swanwick
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lower Swanwick
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Lower Swanwick and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Lower Swanwick and turn up when the site is quiet.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- 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.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You will hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
What staff can safely do
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.

Extract fan repair around Lower Swanwick
Lower Swanwick is within about 2 miles of the coast. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. Food Standards Agency records list about 25 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 13 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Lower Swanwick. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Kitchens in Lower Swanwick get their food hygiene inspections from Fareham council. 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.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Leonard, or anywhere around Lower Swanwick, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Bursledon Church of England Infant School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. If you run a kitchen close to Bursledon station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.

How we price extract fan repair
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work

We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Lower Swanwick
Do you cover smaller places like Lower Swanwick?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Lower Swanwick is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan repair in Lower Swanwick?
It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Lower Swanwick than inland. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance and that is one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
It depends on the fault, but most jobs take part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We will give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
Do we need to close the kitchen for fan work?
We need the extract switched off during the repair, so the kitchen cannot cook under it. That is why we work evenings, overnight and at weekends.
Are you accredited?

What a clean will not put right
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
