Extract fan repair in Bramdean

Across Bramdean, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. Typical jobs include vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a fan that won’t start at all, on fan housings, roof and wall fans and fan motors.

In a small place like Bramdean, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips

Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:

  • Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
  • Keep all filters fitted while cooking
  • Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
  • Clean or change filters on schedule

Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.

Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.

When to call us in Bramdean

Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.

If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:

  • A worn or slipping fan belt
  • A failed fan that needs a replacement
  • Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
  • A fan that whines, hums or grinds

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Simon and St Jude or elsewhere in Bramdean, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Questions to ask before you book

When something else is needed

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:

  • Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
  • Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
  • Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system

If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Fan motors
  • Kitchen extract fans
  • Roof and wall fans
  • Bearings
  • Fan housings
  • Belts and pulleys

Why deal with it now?

Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.

Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Why us?

  • We are fully insured
  • Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
  • We diagnose before we treat
  • A written report with photos after every visit

How the visit works

Night work is normal for us. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work 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 Bramdean can be planned properly.

  1. We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
  2. Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
  3. The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
  4. You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
  5. We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.

How to prepare

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Find the previous report, if there is one
  • Mention any parking or loading restrictions

What the work involves, part by part

Motors and bearings

Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.

Direct-drive fans

An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.

That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. We cover Bramdean, about 54 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East.

What affects the quote in Bramdean

A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:

  • Whether several sites go on one quote
  • The times the site is available
  • Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
  • Site requirements such as sign-in and permits

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.

Asking for a quote

Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:

  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • Where the site is and what kind of site it is

There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.

Common questions in Bramdean

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Bramdean?

In Bramdean, it’s Winchester City council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.

Will you come out to Bramdean?

Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bramdean is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.

Is there help out of hours when the extract fails?

We provide a 24/7 emergency callout. Until the fan is running, think carefully about cooking without extraction, and we’ll aim to get it going again.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.

Do you look at the system first?

Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.

Can we book visits on a schedule?

Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.

Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?

Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.

Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?

A fan repair on its own does not include the ductwork. We will point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
