Extractor fan repair in Red Rice
Professional extract fan repair in and around Red Rice, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and photos.
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An extract fan that has stopped working
What happens if it’s left?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. A fault that closes a site in a village like Red Rice affects everyone who depends on it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What you get with us
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- Every visit written up, with photos
- In business since 2009

Extract fan repair in Red Rice, done properly
Working on a fan in Red Rice means switching the extract off first, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. If you are dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and a failed fan that needs a replacement, we can help.
A callout to a small place like Red Rice goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Extract fan repair around Red Rice
Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Red Rice. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Red Rice, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
Red Rice is about 3 miles south-west of Andover, in Hampshire. Red Rice gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. Across Hampshire, we cover 683 places, Red Rice among them. You can also see our page for Southampton, roughly 19 miles from Red Rice.
Extract fan repair in SP11 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If you need extract fan repair at premises on Red Rice Road and Fullerton Road or anywhere close by, we can help. We also cover the places around Red Rice: Little Ann (1 mile north), Abbotts Ann (1 mile north-west), Anna Valley (1 mile north), Monxton (2 miles north-west) and Kentsboro (2 miles south-west). We also work in nearby towns such as Winchester (12 miles south-east), Andover (3 miles north-east), Chandler's Ford (14 miles south-east), Romsey (13 miles south), Hyde (12 miles south-east) and Tidworth (8 miles north-west).
Around Red Rice
Around Red Rice, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Abbotts Ann Church of England Primary School and John Hanson Community School. For rail, the closest station is Andover station, about 2.6 miles north-east of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Andover Museum (2.8 miles north-east) and Andover War Memorial Hospital (2.8 miles north). Green spaces nearby include Mill Lake and Quarley Hill.
When to call us in Red Rice
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
If you manage a school such as Redrice School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Questions to ask before you book

What extract fan repair can’t fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

How we price extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
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 we need to know
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Common questions in Red Rice
Which environmental health team covers Red Rice?
Food hygiene inspections in Red Rice are carried out by Test Valley council. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you work at weekends in Red Rice?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Red Rice can fit around your hours. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Repair is always our starting point. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we’ll tell you the reasons.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that’s the cause, we’ll say so so you know who to call.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere as small as Red Rice, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
