How we handle extract fan repair in Curdridge
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Curdridge, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. If you’re dealing with a fan rattling in its housing and a fan that whines, hums or grinds, we can put it right.
In a small place like Curdridge, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

When a fan fails in Curdridge
Food Standards Agency records list about 7 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Curdridge and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Curdridge are the job of Winchester City council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you manage a school such as Curdridge Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Curdridge, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. For kitchens close to Botley station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

For landlords and multi-site operators

The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Curdridge before we set off.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Why it’s worth doing now in Curdridge
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Planning a trip to Curdridge ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Staff cleaning does not 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.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Bearings
What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
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.

- The scale of the work
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles

Questions from Curdridge
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Curdridge?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Curdridge is within the area we cover. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Curdridge?
The local authority for Curdridge is Winchester City council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How much time does a fan repair need?
A typical repair takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault including running the fan afterwards. We’ll fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
