Extract fan repair in Middleton, done properly
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. If you’re dealing with an extract fan that rattles or knocks and an old fan that needs replacing, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, fan housings and bearings onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Middleton, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.

What staff can safely do
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
What happens if it’s left?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

Part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that will not start isn’t always a failed motor.
Common questions in Middleton
Which environmental health team covers Middleton?
That is Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Middleton. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can you work in Middleton outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Middleton needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Extract fan repair around Middleton
In Middleton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. Middleton, about 60 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Longparish Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What we are called out for in Middleton
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A fan that will not start at all
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A squealing belt on start-up
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Middleton, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
What your quote should include
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When the next visit should be, and why
The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Middleton and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
