How the job changes from site to site
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.
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.
Extract fan repair in Crampmoor, done properly
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. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you are dealing with a humming noise from the fan motor and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Crampmoor, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Why act early in Crampmoor
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you are busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

When to call us in Crampmoor
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Crampmoor or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A squealing belt on start-up
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A motor that trips out or overheats
For school kitchens, at schools like Cupernham Infant School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
What extract fan repair looks like in Crampmoor
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Crampmoor. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Crampmoor. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Swithun's Church or elsewhere in Crampmoor, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Crampmoor can be planned properly.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:

One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Crampmoor and across Hampshire. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Crampmoor
Can you come to Crampmoor after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work in villages like Crampmoor?
Yes, Crampmoor is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that can’t wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Most fan jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault including running the fan afterwards. We will fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
