Extract fan repair and replacement in Pilley, Hampshire
Extract fan repair and replacement for commercial sites in Pilley and across Hampshire. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A motor that trips out or overheats
For landlords and multi-site operators
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 to a regular schedule.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
How we handle extract fan repair in Pilley
Kitchens in Pilley call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. The work covers fan housings, roof and wall fans and fan motors, and common reasons people get in touch are weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a fan worn beyond sensible repair.
Somewhere as small as Pilley, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

When it’s something else
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
Where we work

Do you need extract fan repair in Pilley?
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
What we are most often called out for:
- A dead fan motor
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- An overheating extract motor
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
Hall kitchens near Saint Nicholas Chapel, or anywhere around Pilley, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
What your quote should include
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- How they set the interval to the next visit
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
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 and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
Leave it or put it right?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. With notice, the visit to Pilley can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

When a fan fails in Pilley
Sea air reaches Pilley, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Salt air is hard on fan housings, motors and fixings on roofs and outside walls. Look up Pilley on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Pilley. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Environmental health officers from New Forest council inspect food businesses in Pilley. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you manage a school such as William Gilpin Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Pilley
Who inspects food businesses in Pilley?
In Pilley, it’s New Forest council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Pilley?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Pilley is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. In a small place like Pilley, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
