About our extract fan repair in Weyhill
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. 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, by repairing the fan or replacing it. The work covers bearings, belts and pulleys and fan motors, and people most often call us about vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a fan that won’t start at all.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Extract fans in Weyhill
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Weyhill. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In Weyhill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Test Valley council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
Kitchens in Weyhill can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops.

What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
What affects the quote in Weyhill
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- The times the site is available
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system

The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Weyhill, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

Advice
Questions from Weyhill
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Weyhill?
That is Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Weyhill. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can the work in Weyhill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Weyhill can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Do you work in Weyhill?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, Weyhill included.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before we start.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
Do you need extract fan repair in Weyhill?
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Weyhill, can seize between uses.
