About our extract fan repair in South Town
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. Typical jobs include a humming noise from the fan motor and a knocking noise from the extract fan, on bearings, fan housings and belts and pulleys.
For a fan repair in or near South Town, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Managing agents and facilities teams in South Town
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

Why act early in South Town
A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. It’s simpler to plan the work at South Town now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What you get with us

Signs you need extract fan repair in South Town
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in South Town or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A dead fan motor
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Medstead Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
Noise is usually the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

FAQs for South Town
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in South Town?
Food hygiene inspections in South Town are carried out by East Hampshire council. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in South Town at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and South Town is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
How long will the fan be out of action?
It depends on the fault, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. You will know more once we’ve found the fault.
