Extract fan repair in New Alresford
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you are dealing with a fan shaking on its mountings and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, we can help.
For a fan repair near New Alresford, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, based on what you tell us about the fan.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts, or the motor itself may be failing.

Why it’s worth doing now in New Alresford
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. Even a site near New Alresford that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
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 explain each part.

Questions from New Alresford
Who inspects food businesses in New Alresford?
In New Alresford, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Do you work overnight in New Alresford?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in New Alresford can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A fan repair on its own does not include the ductwork. We’ll tell you what we see, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. In a place like New Alresford, we fit the visit around your hours.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What affects the quote in New Alresford
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What staff can safely do
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
