Extract fan repair in Martyr Worthy
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. Common call-outs are for an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and an overheating extract motor, on fan motors, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys.
Somewhere as small as Martyr Worthy, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Martyr Worthy: your questions answered
Will you come out to Martyr Worthy?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Martyr Worthy?
In Martyr Worthy, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote so there are no surprises.
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 any work starts.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Martyr Worthy
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
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.
When to call us in Martyr Worthy
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A dead fan motor
For school kitchens, at schools like Itchen Abbas Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes, so we ask about it early.
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.

Why it’s worth doing now in Martyr Worthy
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Martyr Worthy rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
