Extract fan repair in Upper Burgate, done properly
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. If you are dealing with a humming noise from the fan motor and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, we can help, from belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and bearings onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Burgate, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
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.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Upper Burgate
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Somewhere like Upper Burgate, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Never run the extract with filters missing
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
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 wear is caught earlier.
Upper Burgate: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Upper Burgate?
That is New Forest council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Upper Burgate. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Burgate?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Upper Burgate is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
What is TR19?
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 do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Typically, a fan repair takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Where parts need ordering, we’ll explain the timescale.
Do we need to close the kitchen for fan work?
We need the extract switched off during the repair, so cooking under the canopy has to stop. We book the work outside your service times wherever possible.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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, which is where we come in.
Extract fans in Upper Burgate
Food Standards Agency data counts about 11 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Upper Burgate. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In Upper Burgate, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Woodgreen Methodist Church or elsewhere in Upper Burgate, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Why it’s worth doing now in Upper Burgate
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Planning a trip to Upper Burgate ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.

What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Do you need extract fan repair in Upper Burgate?
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind, and if they’re left they can seize.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan that will not start at all
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like The Burgate School and Sixth Form, fix a failing fan before term starts.
