Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Netley
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we will say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. The work covers fan housings, kitchen extract fans and fan motors, and the jobs we see most are a worn or slipping fan belt and a fan that keeps cutting out.
In a place like Netley, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer, and we’ll explain the options.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, next to our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What extract fan repair looks like in Netley
Netley lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 22 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 15 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Netley. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. In Netley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Eastleigh council. 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.
If you cook near Netley station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Netley Abbey Infant School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Do you need extract fan repair in Netley?
Kitchen extract fans in Netley face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Edward the Confessor or elsewhere in Netley, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Common questions in Netley
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Netley?
In Netley, it’s Eastleigh council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Does the sea air around Netley make a difference to extract fan repair?
Yes, to a degree: at about 1 mile from the coast, Netley gets salt-laden air that corrodes metal faster. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.
What if our extract fan fails during service?
Our emergency line is open 24/7. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line at any time if the extract stops and we will organise an engineer.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we will explain the options.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What’s 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.
Why act early in Netley
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

How it works
Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Netley can usually be finished without a second trip.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
