Hampshire · Extract fan repair and replacement
Timsbury extract fan repair
Extract fan repair for Timsbury, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- A dead fan motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
What we’re called out for in Timsbury
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A dead fan motor
Hall kitchens near Church of St Andrew, or anywhere around Timsbury, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

How we handle extract fan repair in Timsbury
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. Typical jobs include a knocking noise from the extract fan and an overheating extract motor, across kitchen extract fans, bearings and fan motors.
A callout to a small place like Timsbury goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
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.

Timsbury questions
Do you work overnight in Timsbury?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Timsbury doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Timsbury at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Timsbury is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We usually quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Timsbury.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
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.
Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option and we’ll talk you through it.
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.
Extract fan repair in Timsbury: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Timsbury and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Food hygiene inspections in Timsbury 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. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Stanbridge Earls School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The condition we find in the survey
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
