The Mint questions
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in The Mint?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and The Mint is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you work in The Mint outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in The Mint can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Extract fan repair in The Mint, done properly
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that is what we will recommend. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. The work covers kitchen extract fans, bearings and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a fan that keeps cutting out and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts.
A callout to a small place like The Mint goes better when we know what we are looking at: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Fan motors
Leave it or put it right?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. Planning a trip to The Mint ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Why book with us
- We’re fully insured
- Trading since 2009
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

How we price extract fan repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The number of sites or systems
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Signs you need extract fan repair in The Mint
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that will not start is not always a dead motor.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Liss Junior School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
What your quote should include
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Whether a survey comes first
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed

What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near The Mint, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
What extract fan repair looks like in The Mint
Food Standards Agency records list about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens in The Mint and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. About 46 miles out from central London, The Mint is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Food hygiene inspections in The Mint are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Hope Church or elsewhere in The Mint, can seize between uses. If you run a café or takeaway near Liss station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.
The Mint is about 4 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. Wherever you are in the GU33 postcode area, we can take on extract fan repair. Our area takes in 683 places across Hampshire, from busy centres to quieter spots. For sites nearby, see our Portsmouth page (19 miles or so).

A little further out are Chase Community Hospital (3.9 miles north). Open spaces near The Mint include Liss Riverside Railway Walk North and Wheatham Hill.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Never run the extract with filters missing
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You will hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
