Extract fan repair in Westley, done properly
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. The work covers belts and pulleys, bearings and roof and wall fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that won’t start at all and a humming noise from the fan motor.
Somewhere as small as Westley, 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 report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Westley run smoothly.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit

How we price extract fan repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- What state the system is in
- Any permits to work or inductions
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Extract fan repair in Westley: local notes
Food hygiene inspections in Westley are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Sparsholt Church of England Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Stephen, or anywhere in Westley, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Common questions in Westley
Is Westley within the area you cover?
Yes. Westley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who inspects food businesses in Westley?
In Westley, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
That depends on what we find. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes, when repair does not make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan normally means grease in the ducts, and we can arrange both.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What happens if it’s left?
In Westley, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice. It’s simpler to plan the work at Westley now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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.

What else we do in Westley
Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
