- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician

How we handle extract fan repair in Priddy's Hard
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 a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. We’re often asked to deal with a humming noise from the fan motor and a failed fan that needs a replacement, across bearings, fan motors and roof and wall fans.
A callout to a small place like Priddy's Hard goes better when we know what we are looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What extract fan repair looks like in Priddy's Hard
At about 1 mile from the coast, Priddy's Hard 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. Look up Priddy's Hard on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 157 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 59 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Priddy's Hard. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Food hygiene inspections in Priddy's Hard are the job of Gosport council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary, or anywhere around Priddy's Hard, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Priddy's Hard
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Priddy's Hard or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An old fan that needs replacing
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as St Vincent College, rather than mid-term.

Why act early in Priddy's Hard

What affects the quote in Priddy's Hard
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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 we can price many jobs without a visit.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Priddy's Hard run smoothly.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Priddy's Hard questions
Does being near the coast affect extract fan repair in Priddy's Hard?
It can, as Priddy's Hard is within about 1 mile of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
Can you work in Priddy's Hard outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Priddy's Hard can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Priddy's Hard and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
