Extract fan repair in Northam, done properly
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 a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers fan housings, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about an extract fan that rattles or knocks and an extract fan that has stopped working.
For a fan repair near Northam, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, based on what you tell us about the fan.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. In a place like Northam, we fit the visit around your hours.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area

Why it’s worth doing now in Northam
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. Even a site near Northam that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
Extract fans in Northam
Northam is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. Food Standards Agency records list about 310 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 109 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Northam. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Kitchens in Northam get their food hygiene inspections from Southampton council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Bitterne Manor Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Augustine, or anywhere in Northam, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

- An old fan that needs replacing
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- Poor airflow at the canopy
For a takeaway near Bitterne station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

FAQs for Northam
Will you come out to Northam?
Yes. Northam is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Does the sea air around Northam make a difference to extract fan repair?
It can. Northam is within about 2 miles of the coast, and salt air speeds up corrosion. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
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 use the quote form at any time if the extract stops and we’ll organise an engineer.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Typically, a fan repair takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Where parts need ordering, we will explain the timescale.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
