About our extract fan repair in Portchester
Wherever your kitchen is in Portchester, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. 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. Typical jobs include an old fan that needs replacing and a whining or grinding extract motor, across belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and bearings.
In a place like Portchester, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired, and we’ll explain the options.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Honest limits
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans

How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and renew them where needed.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
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. When a site near Portchester shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

What else we do in Portchester
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
FAQs for Portchester
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Portchester out of hours?
Portchester is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Do you work in villages like Portchester?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Portchester included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
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 law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Portchester, so let us know how to reach it.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What extract fan repair looks like in Portchester
At about 1 mile from the coast, Portchester is close enough for sea air to matter. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 39 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 19 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Portchester. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Food hygiene inspections in Portchester are the job of Fareham council’s environmental health team. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Portchester, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. For a takeaway near Portchester station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Castle Primary School, rather than mid-term.
