Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Portsmouth Point
Wherever your kitchen is in Portsmouth Point, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you’re cooking. Common call-outs are for a fan that won’t start at all and a belt-driven fan that squeals, across belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Portsmouth Point often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer.
The report is your 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.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
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.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. For a site near Portsmouth Point, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

What extract fan repair looks like in Portsmouth Point
Portsmouth Point is within about 1 mile of the coast. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 287 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 101 sandwich bars and takeaways across Portsmouth Point and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Environmental health officers from Portsmouth council inspect food businesses in Portsmouth Point.

For school kitchens, at schools like St Jude's CofE Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Portsmouth Garrison church, or anywhere in Portsmouth Point, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
What we’re called out for in Portsmouth Point
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that is a common source of rattles.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
If you run a kitchen close to Portsmouth Harbour station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.

Why act early in Portsmouth Point
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- In business since 2009
- Fully insured
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
