Extract fan repair in Matchams, done properly
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. Common call-outs are for a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a motor that trips out or overheats, on kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and fan motors.
In a small place like Matchams, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Why deal with it now?
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. In a place like Matchams, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

How the visit works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In a small place like Matchams, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Related advice
Do you need extract fan repair in Matchams?
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that keeps cutting out
In Matchams, a fan clogged with grease is cleaned as well as repaired, so the fault doesn’t come straight back.

What extract fan repair looks like in Matchams
Food hygiene inspections in Matchams are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
Kitchens in Matchams can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops.

What affects the quote in Matchams
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Matchams
Do you work at weekends in Matchams?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Matchams doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you cover smaller places like Matchams?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Matchams is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it does not spread.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
