Extract fan repair in West Liss, done properly
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we will say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. Typical jobs include a fan rattling in its housing and a whining or grinding extract motor, on kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and bearings.
For a fan repair in or near West Liss, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Extract fan repair in West Liss: local notes
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of West Liss, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. West Liss is about 47 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Kitchens in West Liss get their food hygiene inspections from East Hampshire council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Liss Infant School, fix a failing fan before term starts. Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary, or anywhere around West Liss, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. If you run a café or takeaway near Liss station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.

What happens if it’s left?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. A proper diagnosis in West Liss gets to the real cause. With notice, the visit to West Liss can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
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.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What we work on in West Liss
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that will not start is not always a failed motor.
West Liss questions
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in West Liss?
Day or night, a failed fan in West Liss can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Who inspects food businesses in West Liss?
In West Liss, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before work begins.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
How much notice should we give?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
