Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Welborne
Working on a fan in Welborne means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. If you have an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a squealing belt on start-up, we can help.
Somewhere as small as Welborne, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Welborne.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Advice
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
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, which is where we come in.

What extract fan repair looks like in Welborne
The coast is only about 3 miles from Welborne. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. Food Standards Agency records list about 13 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Welborne and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. In Welborne, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Fareham council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as The Henry Cort Community College or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Welborne questions
Do you cover Welborne for emergency fan repairs?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Welborne is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can the work in Welborne be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Welborne can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We can’t price it without knowing the fault. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for whichever option you choose.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Why deal with it now?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. If the system at a site near Welborne fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Hampshire. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What affects the quote in Welborne
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Common problems we fix in Welborne
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A dead fan motor
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Francis or elsewhere in Welborne, can seize between uses.
Before you book anyone
