Part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it and we will talk you through it.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Cufaude
Working on a fan in Cufaude means switching the extract off first, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. The work covers fan motors, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a motor that trips out or overheats.
In a small place like Cufaude, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Extract fans in Cufaude
Food Standards Agency data counts about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Cufaude. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Environmental health officers from Basingstoke and Deane council inspect food businesses in Cufaude. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. Cufaude is about 44 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you manage a school such as Bramley Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.

Advice
Cufaude: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Cufaude?
Food hygiene inspections in Cufaude are carried out by Basingstoke and Deane council. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can you work in Cufaude outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Cufaude keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
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.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes, when repair does not make sense. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Cufaude
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- How easy every part is to reach
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- A few general shots of the system
- Problems your staff have spotted
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures 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 we start.
What we are called out for in Cufaude
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- An old fan that needs replacing
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Hall kitchens near The Vyne Chapel, or anywhere around Cufaude, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
Before you book anyone
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether they’re fully insured
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
