Extract fan repair in Penton Mewsey
Working on a fan in Penton Mewsey means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. We are often asked to deal with a motor that trips out or overheats and poor airflow at the canopy, across bearings, fan housings and fan motors.
A callout to a small place like Penton Mewsey goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How we price extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How big the system is
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For extract fan repair in Penton Mewsey, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. We normally send a fixed quote within one working day.
Why deal with it now?
In Penton Mewsey, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. A fault that closes a site in a village like Penton Mewsey affects everyone who depends on it.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Penton Mewsey
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A whining or grinding extract motor
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Penton Mewsey, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Questions to ask before you book
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- When the next visit should be, and why
The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. In a small place like Penton Mewsey, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

When a fan fails in Penton Mewsey
There are about 11 restaurants, cafés and canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Penton Mewsey, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Penton Mewsey. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Harrow Way Community School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.

Questions from Penton Mewsey
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Penton Mewsey?
Kitchens in Penton Mewsey are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Will you come out to Penton Mewsey?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Penton Mewsey is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Which sectors do you work in?
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.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we’ll explain the options.
