Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Whiteley
Working on a fan in Whiteley means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. If you have a fan shaking on its mountings and a fan that won’t start at all, we can put it right.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Whiteley often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

What else we do in Whiteley
Extract fan repair around Whiteley
Look up Whiteley on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 40 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 12 takeaways across Whiteley and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. In Whiteley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Fareham council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you cook near Swanwick station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Margaret Mary, or anywhere in Whiteley, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. If you manage a school such as Whiteley Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Whiteley questions
Is Whiteley within the area you cover?
Yes. Whiteley is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which council inspects kitchens in Whiteley?
Food hygiene inspections in Whiteley are carried out by Fareham council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we’ll talk you through the next steps.
Do we need to close the kitchen for fan work?
The extract must be off while the fan is opened up. Most kitchens book us out of hours, so service is not lost.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
Why deal with it now?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Whiteley at a time that suits you.
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 play a part.
Why us?
- A written report with pictures after each visit
- Every job surveyed first

What happens on the day
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Whiteley, so let us know how to reach it.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding normally come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault and then recommend the fix.
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that’s the cause, we’ll say so and explain what we found.
