Part by part
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
About our extract fan repair in Wildhern
Kitchens in Wildhern call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. If you have an old fan that needs replacing and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and bearings onwards.
In a small place like Wildhern, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
What we do, step by step
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. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Wildhern.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

Extract fan repair in Wildhern: local notes
Kitchens in Wildhern get their food hygiene inspections from Test Valley council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Hatherden Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Christchurch or elsewhere in Wildhern, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
Wildhern is about 3 miles north of Andover, in Hampshire. Wildhern gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, and Wildhern is one of them. We also work in Southampton, around 24 miles away.
Work in SP11 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. If your site is just outside Wildhern, we cover Upper Enham (1 mile south-east), Enham Alamein (1 mile south-east), Little London (2 miles east), Knights Enham (2 miles south-east) and Smannell (2 miles south-east). Larger places within reach include Andover (3 miles south), Hyde (15 miles south-east), Tidworth (7 miles west), Weeke (15 miles south-east), Kempshott (15 miles east) and Ludgershall (5 miles west).
Around Wildhern
Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to The Hare & Hounds pub, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Andover station, roughly 3.1 miles south. Well-known places in the area include Finkley Down Farm Museum (3.1 miles south-east) and Andover War Memorial Hospital (2.8 miles south). The countryside around Wildhern includes Anton Lakes and Mill Lake.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Wildhern
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When something else is needed
We’ll 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)
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Leave it or put it right?
Wherever the kitchen is, Wildhern included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

Wildhern: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Wildhern?
That is Test Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wildhern. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you work in villages like Wildhern?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Wildhern included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
We cannot price it without knowing the fault. After we’ve checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
In many cases, 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.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
