Extract fan repair in Blashford: local notes
Look up Blashford on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 32 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Blashford. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In Blashford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary and All Saints, or anywhere around Blashford, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Poulner Junior School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

How we handle extract fan repair in Blashford
Grease and fans don’t mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. If you have a belt-driven fan that squeals and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, we can help, from fan housings, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Blashford, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
How the visit works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Blashford can be planned properly.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Blashford: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Blashford?
Food hygiene inspections in Blashford are carried out by New Forest council. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Blashford?
Blashford is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What else we do in Blashford
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Never run the extract with filters missing
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Blashford
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
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.
What a clean won’t put right
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.
Where we work
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans

How we price extract fan repair
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- The size of the system
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
