Extract fan repair and replacement in Shawford, Hampshire
Extract fan repair in Shawford from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, and we clear up before we go. Somewhere as small as Shawford, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
Advice
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Shawford
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 clear explanation of what was done. If you have a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a humming noise from the fan motor, we can put it right, from fan housings, bearings and belts and pulleys onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Shawford, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why it’s worth doing now in Shawford
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Somewhere as small as Shawford, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
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’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Extract fan repair in Shawford: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 8 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Shawford. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Kitchens in Shawford get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Shawford, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Compton All Saints Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts. If you run a café or takeaway near Shawford station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.

Questions from Shawford
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Shawford?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Shawford. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Shawford out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in Shawford can be reported on our emergency line. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. If repair is not sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
A typical repair takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, including testing. We will fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
It can be one of a few things, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Shawford
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The number of sites or systems
- How easy every part is to reach
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Grease on the fan normally means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
