What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Extract fan repair in Northney
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. Typical jobs include a fan that keeps cutting out and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, on roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and fan housings.
In a small place like Northney, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before you book.

For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Why act early in Northney
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Northney rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
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’ll go through it with you.

What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
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.
How we price extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before we start. It’s based on:
- The scale of the work
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

More services for Northney
Extract fans in Northney
Northney is within about 1 mile of the coast. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 9 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Northney. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. It’s Havant council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Northney. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
For school kitchens, at schools like Warblington School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Northney, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
Northney is about 3 miles south-east of Havant, in Hampshire. We provide extract fan repair for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Northney and the rest of Hampshire. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, and Northney is one of them.

Common questions in Northney
Do you cover Northney for emergency fan repairs?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Northney is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Does coastal air change anything about extract fan repair in Northney?
It can. Salt air reaches Northney, which is within about 1 mile of the coast, and it speeds up rust. A fan housing that’s rusting near the coast can fail sooner, so it’s worth catching early.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Northney.
- 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
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
