The work covers fan motors, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a fan that won’t start at all.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. In a small place like St Mary Bourne, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

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. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Questions from St Mary Bourne
Which council inspects kitchens in St Mary Bourne?
The local authority for St Mary Bourne is Basingstoke and Deane council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Will you come out to St Mary Bourne?
Yes, St Mary Bourne is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What if our extract fan fails during service?
Our emergency line is open 24/7. Ring us if the fan fails and we will organise an engineer.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
In many cases, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts and we only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.

What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
Common problems we fix in St Mary Bourne
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that’s a common source of rattles.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A dead fan motor
- An old fan that needs replacing
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
For school kitchens, at schools like St Mary Bourne Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
