Extract fan repair in Upham
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. The work covers bearings, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a motor that trips out or overheats and a humming noise from the fan motor.
In a small place like Upham, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

What we’re called out for in Upham
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan that will not start at all
If you manage a school such as Upham Church of England Aided Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Upham
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Upham
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.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Why act early in Upham
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Upham is calmer for everyone.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Why us?
- Every job surveyed first
- Fully insured
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- In business since 2009
See our cost guide or our accreditations.
What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Upham.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Extract fan repair in Upham: local notes
In Upham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Upham, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Common questions in Upham
Do you cover Upham for emergency fan repairs?
Day or night, a failed fan in Upham can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Do you cover smaller places like Upham?
Yes. Upham is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We cannot price it without knowing the fault. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
The ductwork is a separate job. We will point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
