Extract fan repair in Shootash, done properly
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. The work covers fan motors, belts and pulleys and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are a dead fan motor and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts.
Somewhere as small as Shootash, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Shootash
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Shootash
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that’s a common source of rattles.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A squealing belt on start-up
If a fan fails in Shootash at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
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.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What we need to know
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When something else is needed
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys

When a fan fails in Shootash
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Shootash. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Environmental health officers from Test Valley council inspect food businesses in Shootash. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Shootash, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Shootash
Can you work in Shootash outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Shootash doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Shootash within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Shootash is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
