How we price extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
About our extract fan repair in New Copse
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that’s what we’ll recommend. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. Common call-outs are for a belt-driven fan that squeals and a failed fan that needs a replacement, across roof and wall fans, bearings and kitchen extract fans.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Why act early in New Copse
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to New Copse is calmer for everyone.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.

How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Your questions about extract fan repair in New Copse
Do you cover New Copse for emergency fan repairs?
New Copse is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you work at weekends in New Copse?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in New Copse keeps running as normal. When you ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
That depends on what we find. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.

The process
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. If you can send photos, we can arrive in New Copse knowing what to expect.
- 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.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Extract fan repair around New Copse
Food hygiene inspections in New Copse are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. About 49 miles out from central London, New Copse is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.

Common problems we fix in New Copse
Fans everywhere, New Copse included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Medstead Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
What your quote should include
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
