About our extract fan repair in South Hayling
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we will say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. Typical jobs include an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a fan that keeps cutting out, across fan housings, roof and wall fans and bearings.
For a fan repair near South Hayling, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, so pictures of the fan and its rating plate help.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.

Look up South Hayling on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 35 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 18 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of South Hayling. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once.

South Hayling: your questions answered
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in South Hayling?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and South Hayling is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Can the work in South Hayling be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in South Hayling keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How long will the fan be out of action?
A typical repair takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, including testing. We plan the work around your service where possible.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
The ductwork is a separate job. We will point out grease where we find it and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. If repair is not sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
Repair is always our starting point. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we will tell you the reasons.
Part by part
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, alongside our reports.
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.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Tell us when your site near South Hayling is quiet and the visit will be booked for then.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Why deal with it now?
In South Hayling, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before it becomes a nuisance. A quieter site near South Hayling still needs its system looked after.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
