Extract fan repair in Poulner
Kitchens in Poulner call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. If you have a worn or slipping fan belt and an extract fan that has stopped working, we can help, from fan housings, bearings and fan motors onwards.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Poulner often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

When to call us in Poulner
Not every problem is mechanical. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A dead fan motor
- A squealing belt on start-up
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Poulner Infant School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Problems your staff have spotted
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, and we clear up before we go. Tell us when your site near Poulner is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- 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.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding typically come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault and then recommend the fix.
Leave it or put it right?
A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

FAQs for Poulner
Which council inspects kitchens in Poulner?
The local authority for Poulner is New Forest council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Can you come to Poulner after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Poulner can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How much time does a fan repair need?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We will give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Extract fan repair in Poulner: local notes
There are about 37 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 8 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Poulner, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Poulner. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Poulner, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
