About our extract fan repair in Crookham
Kitchens in Crookham call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. We are often asked to deal with a motor that trips out or overheats and a squealing belt on start-up, on fan motors, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans.
In a small place like Crookham, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Part by part
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
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.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Crookham.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It doesn’t solve:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
Leave it or put it right?
In Crookham, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. Somewhere as small as Crookham, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You’ll hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Crookham questions
Who inspects food businesses in Crookham?
Food hygiene inspections in Crookham are carried out by West Berkshire council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Crookham at night?
Extract fan emergencies in Crookham are covered around the clock. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
