What extract fan repair can’t fix
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It won’t put right:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Extract fan repair in Ower, done properly
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we’ll say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. We’re often asked to deal with a belt-driven fan that squeals and an overheating extract motor, on belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
In a village or hamlet like Ower, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that won’t start isn’t always a failed motor.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. Access affects how long a repair takes and we plan around it.
Why it’s worth doing now in Ower
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Ower rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What you get with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

- A written report with photos after every visit

What we do, step by step
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. For a village or hamlet like Ower, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Common questions in Ower
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ower?
Kitchens in Ower are inspected by New Forest council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Ower?
Ower is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Extract fan repair in Ower: local notes
There are about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Ower and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Food hygiene inspections in Ower are the job of New Forest council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Belts, bearings, motors and impellers are all checked when we look at a fan around Ower. If a fan fails in Ower at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
