How we handle extract fan repair in Warsash
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Warsash, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan housings and bearings, and common reasons people get in touch are a squealing belt on start-up and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork.
For a fan repair near Warsash, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, so pictures of the fan and its rating plate help.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Warsash
Can the work in Warsash be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Warsash needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Warsash at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Warsash is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We’ll point out grease where we find it and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Why deal with it now?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. A quieter site near Warsash still needs its system looked after.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.

The process
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 it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like Warsash.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You will hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job and we plan around it.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
What extract fan repair looks like in Warsash
The coast is only about 1 mile from Warsash. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. There are about 41 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Warsash, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Kitchens in Warsash get their food hygiene inspections from Fareham council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Hook-With-Warsash Church of England Academy, rather than mid-term.

What we’re called out for in Warsash
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that is a common source of rattles.
What we are most often called out for:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Warsash, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
