Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Tapnage
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- A single visit or a regular plan
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
About our extract fan repair in Tapnage
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. If you have an extract fan that has stopped working and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Tapnage, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding typically come from the bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself before recommending a fix.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Tapnage questions
Which environmental health team covers Tapnage?
That’s Winchester City council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Tapnage. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you work at weekends in Tapnage?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will arrange a diagnosis.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Do I get a report after the visit?
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. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How much notice do you need?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Tapnage, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Why it’s worth doing now in Tapnage
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Tapnage rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will explain what it covers.

Do you need extract fan repair in Tapnage?
In Tapnage, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- An old fan that needs replacing
- An overheating extract motor
- A dead fan motor
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as The Henry Cort Community College or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
