When a fan fails in Churt
There are about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Churt, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. About 39 miles out from central London, Churt is part of the South East area we work across. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s East Hampshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Churt. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Churt, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. For school kitchens, at schools like St John's CofE Aided Infant School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

How we handle extract fan repair in Churt
Grease and fans don’t mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans, and the jobs we see most are an overheating extract motor and an extract fan that has stopped working.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Churt
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.
What the work covers
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings

How we price extract fan repair
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Clean or change filters on schedule
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
Part by part
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. 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. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
FAQs for Churt
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Churt out of hours?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Churt is part of our area. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Is Churt within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Churt included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Repair is always our starting point. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible, and we will explain why.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Churt and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
