Do you need extract fan repair in Upper Swanmore?
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan that will not start at all
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An overheating extract motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Swanmore Church of England Aided Primary School, rather than mid-term.

Extract fan repair in Upper Swanmore, done properly
If an extract fan in Upper Swanmore is struggling or has stopped, we find the cause and quote a fixed price for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan motors and fan housings, and people most often call us about a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
In a small place like Upper Swanmore, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
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.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
When a fan fails in Upper Swanmore
Environmental health officers from Winchester City council inspect food businesses in Upper Swanmore. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. Upper Swanmore, about 60 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.

Different parts, different methods
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
Leave it or put it right?
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. A fault that closes a site in a village like Upper Swanmore affects everyone who depends on it.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How the visit works
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 before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Upper Swanmore run smoothly.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
