Totton questions
Do you work at weekends in Totton?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Totton?
Extract fan emergencies in Totton are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
What do you do with what you remove?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What is TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What we do, step by step
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Let us know how to reach the roof or plant area at your site in Totton, and where the van can go.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- 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.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Get a fixed quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Different parts, different methods
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.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We will tell you if that’s what we find so you know who to call.
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Totton
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The number of sites or systems
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Why it’s worth doing now in Totton
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. Nothing in a duct, damper or fan improves by being left.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Why Totton businesses choose us
- We diagnose before we treat

When to call us in Totton
Fans everywhere, Totton included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Abbotswood Junior School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether a survey comes first
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
Extract fan repair in Totton: local notes
Sea air reaches Totton, which sits within about 2 miles of the coast. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. There are about 22 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 21 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Totton, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. It’s New Forest council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Totton. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Winfred or elsewhere in Totton, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
