Why act early in Crow
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Planning a trip to Crow ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced 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’ll go through it with you.

How we handle extract fan repair in Crow
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. Typical jobs include a humming noise from the fan motor and a fan that keeps cutting out, on fan motors, belts and pulleys and bearings.
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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Crow: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Crow?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Crow needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Crow?
Day or night, a failed fan in Crow can be reported on our emergency line. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
In many cases, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back and we only recommend replacement when repair doesn’t make sense.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
When a fan fails in Crow
There are about 16 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Crow, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In Crow, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Ringwood Junior School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

The process
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Visits to a village like Crow are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Crow
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
What the work involves, part by part
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.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
