About our extract fan repair in Tidworth
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. We’re often asked to deal with a fan worn beyond sensible repair and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, on belts and pulleys, fan housings and bearings.
In a place like Tidworth, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer.
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, with full insurance on top.

How we price extract fan repair
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
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 so you know the cost before we start.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Tidworth
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Tidworth, can seize between uses.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether VAT is included
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Proof of insurance
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Tidworth can normally be finished without a second trip.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- 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.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Let us know about parking and loading

What extract fan repair looks like in Tidworth
Food hygiene inspections in Tidworth 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. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as The Wellington Academy, rather than mid-term.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Tidworth
Do you work in villages like Tidworth?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Tidworth is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Tidworth?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Tidworth is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. We will give you a better idea once we have diagnosed it.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. Grease on the fan usually means grease in the ducts, and we can arrange both.

Why act early in Tidworth
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly and the fan may stop when you are busiest. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
