In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in South Ham
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. If you have a failed fan that needs a replacement and a motor that trips out or overheats, we can put it right.
A callout to a place like South Ham is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, so pictures of the fan and its rating plate help.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Signs you need extract fan repair in South Ham
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Look out for any of the following:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Saint Peter's Church or elsewhere in South Ham, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
What happens if it’s left?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Around South Ham, a kitchen or building out of action is missed right away.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Why us?
- Every visit written up, with pictures

Your questions about extract fan repair in South Ham
Do you work overnight in South Ham?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in South Ham needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in South Ham at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and South Ham is part of our area. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Repair is always our starting point. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer and we’ll tell you the reasons.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What extract fan repair looks like in South Ham
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 88 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 35 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of South Ham. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. At about 47 miles from central London, South Ham sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in South Ham. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as St Anne's Catholic Primary School, rather than mid-term.

For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
