Extract Fan Repair in Parkhurst
Professional extract fan repair in and around Parkhurst, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Extract fan repair in Parkhurst
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. The work covers fan motors, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys, and the jobs we see most are a fan worn beyond sensible repair and an overheating extract motor.
In a small place like Parkhurst, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Parkhurst
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats, trips out or eventually burns out.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan shaking on its mountings
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Hunnyhill Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Parkhurst.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Parkhurst: your questions answered
Will you come out to Parkhurst?
Yes. Parkhurst is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you work at weekends in Parkhurst?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Parkhurst needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Honest limits
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It will not put right:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
Why deal with it now?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. If the system at a site near Parkhurst fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
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. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
