Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Roughdown
Working on a fan in Roughdown means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. The work covers belts and pulleys, bearings and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about a worn or slipping fan belt and a failed fan that needs a replacement.
In a small place like Roughdown, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What affects the quote in Roughdown
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- 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
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Roughdown: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Roughdown?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you get to a site in Roughdown?
Yes. Roughdown is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll tell you what we see, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Often, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
When it’s something else
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
Why it’s worth doing now in Roughdown
A fan that is running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
Managing agents and facilities teams in Roughdown
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself since the motor is not always to blame.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.

What we are called out for in Roughdown
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that is a common source of rattles.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
Around Roughdown, a failed fan can be reported day or night on our 24/7 line.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How VAT is shown on the quote
When a fan fails in Roughdown
The coast is only about 2 miles from Roughdown. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. There are about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Roughdown, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. In Roughdown, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you manage a school such as Blackfield Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
