Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Lychpit
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. The work covers bearings, fan housings and roof and wall fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a humming noise from the fan motor and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How we price extract fan repair
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The size of the system
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 work begins.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

Do you need extract fan repair in Lychpit?
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Lychpit, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Lychpit
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What happens on the day
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Visits to a village like Lychpit are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- 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.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.

Impellers and housings

Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Lychpit
Can you come to Lychpit after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Who inspects food businesses in Lychpit?
The local authority for Lychpit is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
