Extract fan repair for sites in Upton Grey

How the job changes from site to site

Motors and bearings

An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.

Roof and wall-mounted fans

An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.

Extract fan repair in Upton Grey

If an extract fan in Upton Grey is struggling or has stopped, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Common call-outs are for poor airflow at the canopy and a fan that won’t start at all, across roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and fan motors.

In a small place like Upton Grey, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.

A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Looking after it afterwards

So the system stays in good health:

  • Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
  • Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
  • Write down when the fan misbehaves
  • Clean or change filters on schedule

Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.

The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Multi-site and managed buildings

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

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.

FAQs for Upton Grey

Which council inspects kitchens in Upton Grey?

That is Basingstoke and Deane council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Upton Grey. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.

Do you work at weekends in Upton Grey?

Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Upton Grey doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.

Can you set up regular visits?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?

In many cases, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.

Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?

A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We will tell you what we see, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.

How far ahead should we book?

It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.

What extract fan repair can’t fix

We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:

  • Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
  • A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
  • Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)

If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.

What the work covers

  • Roof and wall fans
  • Fan housings
  • Bearings
  • Fan motors
  • Kitchen extract fans
  • Belts and pulleys

How we price extract fan repair

The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:

  • What state the system is in
  • Where the site is and how we reach it
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels

What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

What to send for a quote

To help us quote quickly, send us:

  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

How it works

A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Visits to a village like Upton Grey are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.

  1. A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
  2. The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
  3. Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
  4. We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
  5. We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Ask for a quote

Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
