How we handle extract fan repair in Tye
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan motors and fan housings, and people most often call us about a fan shaking on its mountings and a fan that won’t start at all.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

When to call us in Tye
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that will not start isn’t always a dead motor.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Tye, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Part by part
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself since the motor isn’t always to blame.
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.

The process
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Tye, let us know and we will plan around it.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

Why act early in Tye
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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.
Common questions in Tye
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Tye?
Kitchens in Tye are inspected by Havant council’s environmental health officers. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Will you come out to Tye?
Yes. Tye is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You’ll hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
When a fan fails in Tye
At about 1 mile from the coast, Tye is close enough for sea air to matter. Salt air is hard on fan housings, motors and fixings on roofs and outside walls. Look up Tye on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Tye and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In Tye, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Havant council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
For school kitchens, at schools like Mill Rythe Junior School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
