Extract fan repair in Mottisfont, done properly
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. If you have vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a belt-driven fan that squeals, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Mottisfont, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s 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.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.

A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Mottisfont.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- 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
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Mottisfont and across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Cleaning it can cure the noise as long as the bearings are still sound.

What affects the quote in Mottisfont
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
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.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
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 work begins.
Why it’s worth doing now in Mottisfont
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. A planned visit to Mottisfont is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why us?
- Full insurance on every job
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

Your questions about extract fan repair in Mottisfont
Which council inspects kitchens in Mottisfont?
Kitchens in Mottisfont are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you work overnight in Mottisfont?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Mottisfont needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you cover Mottisfont?
Yes. Our technicians work in Mottisfont, within the South East and London area we cover.
