Extract fan repair in South Moreton, done properly
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. Common call-outs are for a fan shaking on its mountings and a failed fan that needs a replacement, on roof and wall fans, fan housings and belts and pulleys.
For a fan repair in or near South Moreton, 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.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in South Moreton
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Parking and loading at the site
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.

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, which is where we come in.
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.
FAQs for South Moreton
Can you get to a site in South Moreton?
Yes, South Moreton is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in South Moreton at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and South Moreton is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking and we can plan the two together.
How much time does a fan repair need?
As a guide, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that is likely to be.
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.
Common problems we fix in South Moreton
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as South Moreton Primary School, rather than mid-term.
What your quote should include
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether a survey comes first
What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to South Moreton.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
