Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Upper Enham
Working on a fan in Upper Enham means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. If you have a humming noise from the fan motor and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Upper Enham, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
When something else is needed
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
Upper Enham questions
Do you work at weekends in Upper Enham?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Upper Enham can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Do you cover smaller places like Upper Enham?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Upper Enham included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with photos, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Extract fan repair around Upper Enham
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Upper Enham, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Upper Enham are the job of Test Valley council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Smannell and Enham Church of England (Aided) Primary School, rather than mid-term.

Do you need extract fan repair in Upper Enham?
Not every problem is mechanical. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that will not start is not always a dead motor.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A dead fan motor
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Saint George, or anywhere in Upper Enham, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

The work on site takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, and we clear up before we go. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Upper Enham before we set off.
- 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.

What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
