Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
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 on a regular cycle.
Extract fan repair in Worthy Down
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. The work covers fan housings, bearings and kitchen extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are an old fan that needs replacing and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The condition of the system
- The times the site is available
- Any permits to work or inductions
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Do you need extract fan repair in Worthy Down?
Fans everywhere, Worthy Down included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An overheating extract motor
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Margaret's or elsewhere in Worthy Down, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. The timing of a visit to Worthy Down is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Honest limits
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

Extract fans in Worthy Down
It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Worthy Down. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. At about 60 miles from central London, Worthy Down sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as South Wonston Primary School, rather than mid-term.

FAQs for Worthy Down
Can you come to Worthy Down after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which environmental health team covers Worthy Down?
Kitchens in Worthy Down are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Most fan jobs take an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, including testing. We will fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible, and we’ll explain why.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise usually comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
