Extract fan repair and replacement in Preston Candover, Hampshire
Repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Preston Candover. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it, and we will explain why.
Extract fan repair in Preston Candover
Grease and fans don’t mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. Common call-outs are for an old fan that needs replacing and a fan shaking on its mountings, on kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
Somewhere as small as Preston Candover, 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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Preston Candover questions
Can the work in Preston Candover be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Preston Candover does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Preston Candover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Preston Candover included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans

When to call us in Preston Candover
In Preston Candover, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
What we’re most often called out for:
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Preston Candover Church of England Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

How the visit works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Preston Candover knowing what to expect.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What else we do in Preston Candover
What happens if it’s left?

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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.
