How we handle extract fan repair in Purbrook
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. If you are dealing with a belt-driven fan that squeals and a whining or grinding extract motor, we can help, from roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and fan housings onwards.
In a town like Purbrook, a failed fan usually means a closed kitchen. That’s why our emergency line runs 24/7.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Common questions in Purbrook
Do you work overnight in Purbrook?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Purbrook can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Purbrook?
Purbrook is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you need extract fan repair in Purbrook?
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan that will not start at all
- A worn or slipping fan belt
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Purbrook Junior School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

What else we do in Purbrook
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor is not always to blame.
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Cleaning it can cure the noise as long as the bearings are still sound.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
When something else is needed
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

How it works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. For a site in a town like Purbrook, tell us your opening hours, where we can park and how we reach the roof or plant.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. In a town like Purbrook, a problem caught early is a planned visit, not an emergency.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes, normally within one working day
- Full insurance on every job
- We diagnose before we treat
- Trading since 2009
Extract fans in Purbrook
Purbrook is within about 2 miles of the coast. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. Look up Purbrook on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 36 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 29 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Purbrook. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Kitchens in Purbrook get their food hygiene inspections from Havant council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Hall kitchens near Church of St John, or anywhere around Purbrook, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
