In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Extract fan repair in Thruxton, done properly
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. 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. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before work begins. Typical jobs include a fan that whines, hums or grinds and an overheating extract motor, on fan motors, fan housings and belts and pulleys.
Somewhere as small as Thruxton, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. The timing of a visit to Thruxton is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.
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.
What affects the quote in Thruxton
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- The number of sites or systems
- Any permits to work or inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Extract fans in Thruxton
It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Thruxton. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Thruxton, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Amport Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term.

Questions from Thruxton
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Thruxton at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Thruxton can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Do you cover smaller places like Thruxton?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Thruxton is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
In many cases, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back, and we will always say when repair makes sense.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
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.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before it leads to a breakdown.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
What happens if it’s left?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Thruxton is calmer for everyone.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us for straight advice and a fixed quote.
