FAQs for South Hanningfield
Do you cover South Hanningfield for emergency fan repairs?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and South Hanningfield is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you come to South Hanningfield after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in South Hanningfield keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What about areas you can’t get to?
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.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Do we need to close while you work?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.

Why deal with it now?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. Every hour of strain takes its toll, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near South Hanningfield rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.

When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near South Hanningfield, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
Part by part
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 are compact and common in kitchen extracts. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it, and we’ll explain why.

Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
