Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in North Hayling
Grease and fans do not mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. The work covers roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans, and the jobs we see most are an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and an old fan that needs replacing.
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 photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like North Hayling.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
North Hayling: your questions answered
Is extract fan repair any different in a coastal place like North Hayling?
It can, as North Hayling is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. A fan housing that is rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in North Hayling out of hours?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and North Hayling is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Most fan jobs take part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered including running the fan afterwards. We plan the work around your service where possible.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Often, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back and we only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We can’t price it without knowing the fault. After we’ve checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking and we can plan the two together.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us 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’ll normally have a quote within one working day.
Extract fan repair in North Hayling: local notes
At about 1 mile from the coast, North Hayling is close enough for sea air to matter. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. Food Standards Agency data counts about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of North Hayling. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in North Hayling are the job of Havant council’s environmental health team. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as The Hayling College or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Part by part
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We will tell you if that is what we find so you know who to call.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Fan motors
Common problems we fix in North Hayling
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan that will not start at all
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in North Hayling, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What paperwork you get at the end
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
