Extract fan repair for sites in Titchfield

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Titchfield

Across Titchfield, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan housings and belts and pulleys, and the jobs we see most are a fan that won’t start at all and a fan shaking on its mountings.

A callout to a small place like Titchfield goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Titchfield

Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:

  • The number of sites or systems
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
  • How big the system is
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels

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.

What to send for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

When to call us in Titchfield

Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.

Signs it’s time to call us include:

  • A fan rattling in its housing
  • A whining or grinding extract motor
  • A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
  • A worn or slipping fan belt

Hall kitchens near Church of St Peter, or anywhere around Titchfield, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Questions to ask before booking

  • What insurance they carry
  • How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
  • If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
  • Whether VAT is included

Questions to ask before you book

Different parts, different methods

Motors and bearings

An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.

Fan controls

We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor isn’t always to blame.

Multi-site and managed buildings

We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards

After the visit, a few habits help the work last:

  • Keep all filters fitted while cooking
  • Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
  • Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
  • Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop

We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You will hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.

A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.

FAQs for Titchfield

Does the sea air around Titchfield make a difference to extract fan repair?

It can. Being within about 2 miles of the sea means more corrosion on metalwork in Titchfield than inland. We look at fans, cowls and fixings for rust as well as grease.

Do you work in villages like Titchfield?

Yes. Titchfield is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?

Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.

What is TR19?

It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.

Will the kitchen have to stop cooking while you work?

The extract must be off while the fan is opened up. We plan the visit around your hours to avoid losing a service.

How far ahead should we book?

Book as early as you can for planned work, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.

Who do we call if the fan stops in the middle of cooking?

We run a 24/7 emergency callout for exactly this. We’ll talk it through with you and arrange to attend as quickly as possible.

What extract fan repair cannot fix

Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
  • Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
  • A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing

If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before you book.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Fan housings
  • Bearings
  • Belts and pulleys
  • Kitchen extract fans
  • Roof and wall fans
  • Fan motors

What extract fan repair looks like in Titchfield

Titchfield is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. Food Standards Agency records list about 21 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 10 takeaways in Titchfield and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In Titchfield, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Fareham council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.

School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Titchfield Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What we do, step by step

A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Somewhere as small as Titchfield, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.

  1. First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
  2. Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
  3. Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
  4. You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
  5. The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.

Before we arrive

  • Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
