How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Test Valley can be planned properly.

- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.

- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.

Advice
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Test Valley
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. If you have an overheating extract motor and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, we can help.
In a small place like Test Valley, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Common questions in Test Valley
Who inspects food businesses in Test Valley?
Kitchens in Test Valley are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Can you work in Test Valley outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Test Valley keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance and that is one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Test Valley
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Leave it or put it right?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Test Valley is calmer for everyone.
