Extract fan repair in Wickham
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that will not start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. The work covers bearings, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys, and the jobs we see most are weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a belt-driven fan that squeals.
A callout to a place like Wickham 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.

When to call us in Wickham
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan shaking on its mountings
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas or elsewhere in Wickham, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.

What else we do in Wickham
Extract fan repair in Wickham: local notes
There are about 15 restaurants, cafés and canteens in Wickham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. In Wickham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Winchester City council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Wickham Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We will tell you if that’s what we find and explain what we found.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Wickham: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Wickham?
In Wickham, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Wickham at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Wickham is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Noise typically comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
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 wear is caught earlier.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. For a place like Wickham, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
