Advice
How we handle extract fan repair in Cranmore
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. If you are dealing with a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a belt-driven fan that squeals, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, 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.

Cranmore questions
Do you cover Cranmore for emergency fan repairs?
Cranmore is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Will you come out to Cranmore?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Cranmore is covered. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
How long will the fan be out of action?
It depends on the fault, but most jobs take a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. We’ll give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you need extract fan repair in Cranmore?
Kitchen extract fans in Cranmore face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Look out for any of the following:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan that will not start at all
- A humming noise from the fan motor
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Shalfleet Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Before booking anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What hours they’ll be on site
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. It’s simpler to plan the work at Cranmore now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
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, and that’s where we come in.
How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning will not help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
When something else is needed
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
