Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Stockbridge
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. Typical jobs include a failed fan that needs a replacement and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, on belts and pulleys, fan motors and roof and wall fans.
Somewhere as small as Stockbridge, 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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Report new noises from the fan early
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
How it works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and we clear up before we go. If you can send photos, we can arrive in Stockbridge knowing what to expect.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Questions from Stockbridge
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stockbridge?
In Stockbridge, it’s Test Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Can you get to a site in Stockbridge?
Yes, Stockbridge is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
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 before any work starts.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
What we are called out for in Stockbridge
Fans everywhere, Stockbridge included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Clients normally contact us when they notice one of these:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
Hall kitchens near Church of St Peter, or anywhere around Stockbridge, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
What your quote should include
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them

Extract fan repair in Stockbridge: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stockbridge. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Stockbridge are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Stockbridge Primary & Pre-School, rather than mid-term.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
