Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Old Alresford
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. The work covers kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a fan that won’t start at all.
For a fan repair in or near Old Alresford, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why deal with it now?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly and the fan may stop when you are busiest. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. In a place like Old Alresford, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Old Alresford
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition of the system
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The number of sites or systems
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
If you need extract fan repair in Old Alresford, call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere like Old Alresford, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
