What extract fan repair looks like in New Forest
Food hygiene inspections in New Forest are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
Fan failures around New Forest do not keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.

The work covers belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and fan motors, and people most often call us about an overheating extract motor and a fan rattling in its housing.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Why act early in New Forest
A fan that is running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Planning a trip to New Forest ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Common questions in New Forest
Which council inspects kitchens in New Forest?
In New Forest, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you cover New Forest for emergency fan repairs?
Day or night, a failed fan in New Forest can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What types of premises do you cover?
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.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Common problems we fix in New Forest
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan that will not start at all
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan that keeps cutting out
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in New Forest, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. For a village or hamlet like New Forest, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
