Hampshire · Extract fan repair and replacement
Extract Fan Repair in Steep
One call covers extract fan repair and replacement in Steep, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
Different parts, different methods
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.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Steep
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. Typical jobs include a humming noise from the fan motor and a dead fan motor, across bearings, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans.
In a village or hamlet like Steep, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When a fan fails in Steep
Look up Steep on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways in Steep and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. We cover Steep, about 49 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. In Steep, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Steep Church of England Voluntary Controlled Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of All Saints, or anywhere in Steep, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
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.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Questions from Steep
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Steep out of hours?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Steep is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Is Steep within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Steep is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We cannot price it without knowing the fault. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for whichever option you choose.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What affects the quote in Steep
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The size of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
What we do, step by step
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, 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. A few pictures of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Steep.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Advice
Why act early in Steep
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. A proper diagnosis in Steep gets to the real cause. If the system at a site near Steep fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
