Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
About our extract fan repair in Waterlooville
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. The work covers belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and fan motors, and people most often call us about a fan that whines, hums or grinds and an extract fan that rattles or knocks.
In a town like Waterlooville, a failed fan typically means a closed kitchen. Our 24/7 emergency callout is there for exactly that.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, 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.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
What happens if it’s left?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. If an inspection, an insurer’s survey or a fire risk assessment is coming up in Waterlooville, having the work done and recorded first helps.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001

When to call us in Waterlooville
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
If you manage a school such as Hart Plain Junior School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Questions from Waterlooville
Do you cover Waterlooville for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Waterlooville are covered around the clock. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Does being near the coast affect extract fan repair in Waterlooville?
It can, as Waterlooville is within about 3 miles of the sea, where salt in the air is hard on metal. Rooftop fans, discharge cowls and fixings are checked for corrosion as well as grease.
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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We are fully insured, and the details are available on request.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Sites in a town like Waterlooville rarely need to lose trading hours, as the work fits around them.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- 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
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
Extract fans in Waterlooville
Waterlooville lies within about 3 miles of the sea. A fan exposed to sea air needs its fixings and housing checked more often than one inland. Food Standards Agency data counts about 39 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 30 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Waterlooville. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Environmental health officers from Havant council inspect food businesses in Waterlooville. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Saint George's or elsewhere in Waterlooville, can seize between uses.

How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
