Hampshire · Extract fan repair and replacement
Extractor fan repair in Ropley
One call covers repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts in Ropley, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
What we are called out for in Ropley
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that won’t start isn’t always a dead motor.
Clients typically contact us after spotting something like this:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Ropley, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Extract fan repair in Ropley
Grease and fans do not mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. If you are dealing with a humming noise from the fan motor and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, we can help.
A callout to a small place like Ropley goes better when we know what we are looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
Common questions in Ropley
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Ropley?
Kitchens in Ropley are inspected by East Hampshire council’s environmental health officers. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Is Ropley within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
We look at repairing it first. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer, and we will explain why.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking and we can plan the two together.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Extract fan repair around Ropley
Ropley, about 51 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Food hygiene inspections in Ropley are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ropley

One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

- Travel, parking and unloading

- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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.
