Your questions about extract fan repair in Mansbridge
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Mansbridge?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Mansbridge is within the area we cover. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can the work in Mansbridge be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Extract fan repair in Mansbridge
Grease and fans don’t mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. If you are dealing with a worn or slipping fan belt and a dead fan motor, we can help.
A callout to a place like Mansbridge is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, based on what you tell us about the fan.
Good records are part of the job. 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 Mansbridge
Look up Mansbridge on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 90 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 55 takeaways and sandwich shops in Mansbridge and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. It’s Southampton council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Mansbridge. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
For a takeaway near Swaythling station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Mansbridge Primary School, rather than mid-term.

What affects the quote in Mansbridge
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something 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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

What else we do in Mansbridge
What we’re called out for in Mansbridge
In Mansbridge, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan that will not start at all
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St. Mary's Church or elsewhere in Mansbridge, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
The process
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. In a place like Mansbridge, we fit the visit around your hours.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
