Extract fan repair in West Tisted
Grease and fans do not mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. Common call-outs are for an extract fan that has stopped working and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, across fan motors, roof and wall fans and bearings.
A callout to a small place like West Tisted goes better when we know what we’re looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A failed fan that needs a replacement

When a fan fails in West Tisted
West Tisted is about 52 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Food hygiene inspections in West Tisted are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.

For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.

Why it’s worth doing now in West Tisted
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. A planned visit to West Tisted is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
West Tisted questions
Who inspects food businesses in West Tisted?
In West Tisted, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in West Tisted at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and West Tisted is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
How much time does a fan repair need?
A typical repair takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, including testing. We’ll fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that’s one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards.
