Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Mapledurwell
Wherever your kitchen is in Mapledurwell, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you are cooking. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan housings and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about a fan rattling in its housing and a fan shaking on its mountings.
For a fan repair in or near Mapledurwell, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why deal with it now?
In Mapledurwell, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. It’s simpler to plan the work at Mapledurwell now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
Common questions in Mapledurwell
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Mapledurwell?
That’s Basingstoke and Deane council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Mapledurwell. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Can the work in Mapledurwell be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Mapledurwell can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
That depends on what we find. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before we start.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Mapledurwell.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Mapledurwell
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that’s a common source of rattles.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St. Mary or elsewhere in Mapledurwell, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether VAT is included
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
