Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Southrope
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan housings and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about a belt-driven fan that squeals and a whining or grinding extract motor.
Somewhere as small as Southrope, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why act early in Southrope
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. With notice, the visit to Southrope can be fitted around your bookings and events.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Why Southrope businesses choose us
- We’re fully insured
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos

- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
Part by part
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and renew them where necessary.
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You’ll hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
Common questions in Southrope
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Southrope out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in Southrope can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Do you work overnight in Southrope?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Southrope needn’t be disturbed. When you call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise usually comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults and we find the exact cause on site.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes, when repair does not make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive 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 before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Southrope knowing what to expect.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
