How we handle extract fan repair in Whitehill
Across Whitehill, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. We’re often asked to deal with a failed fan that needs a replacement and a knocking noise from the extract fan, across bearings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.
A callout to a place like Whitehill is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, based on what you tell us about the fan.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
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. Leave those to us.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
- Travel, parking and unloading
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your last certificate, test record or report
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Sometimes a clean is all it needs as long as the bearings are still sound.
Extract fan repair in Whitehill: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 14 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 10 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Whitehill. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. In Whitehill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. At about 43 miles from central London, Whitehill sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mark's Sacred Church or elsewhere in Whitehill, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. For school kitchens, at schools like Woodlea Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
Whitehill is about 6 miles south-east of Alton, in Hampshire. Sites in Whitehill get the same service as everywhere we cover: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with pictures.

Landmarks near Whitehill

What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Whitehill at a time that suits you.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Common questions in Whitehill
Do you cover Whitehill for emergency fan repairs?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Whitehill is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do you cover smaller places like Whitehill?
Yes. Whitehill is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Often, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back and we only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys

For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
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.
How the visit works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and we clear up before we go. For a site near Whitehill, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
