The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Somewhere as small as Middle Wallop, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Advice
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Middle Wallop
Across Middle Wallop, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. We are often asked to deal with vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a fan that won’t start at all, across fan housings, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
For a fan repair in or near Middle Wallop, 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.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
What happens if it’s left?
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. Somewhere as small as Middle Wallop, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Extract fan repair around Middle Wallop
Food hygiene inspections in Middle Wallop are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Wallop Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Honest limits
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.

Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
Common questions in Middle Wallop
Is Middle Wallop within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Middle Wallop included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Middle Wallop?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Middle Wallop keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
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 before any work starts.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. Grease on the fan usually means grease in the ducts, and we can arrange both.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Noise typically comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults, and we diagnose it on site.
When to call us in Middle Wallop
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A humming noise from the fan motor
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Middle Wallop, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
