Greatham: your questions answered
Do you cover smaller places like Greatham?
Yes, Greatham is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Can you come to Greatham after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. 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.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
How we handle extract fan repair in Greatham
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan housings and fan motors, and people most often call us about a whining or grinding extract motor and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How easy every part is to reach
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The postcode and the type of business
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
What happens if it’s left?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- Each visit written up, with photos
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout

When a fan fails in Greatham
At about 45 miles from central London, Greatham sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. In Greatham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from East Hampshire council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Greatham Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Greatham is about 5 miles north-east of Petersfield, in Hampshire. We provide extract fan repair for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Greatham and the rest of Hampshire. 683 places in Hampshire are on our list, large and small. Guildford is in our area too, about 18 miles from Greatham.
Work in GU33 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. That includes premises on Longmoor Road, Wolfmere Lane and Todmore and the roads around them. We also cover the places around Greatham: Longmoor (1 mile east), Woolmer (1 mile north), Liss Forest (1 mile south), Blackmoor (1 mile north) and The Mint (2 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Havant (15 miles south), Fleet (14 miles north), Horndean (13 miles south-west), Aldershot (13 miles north-east), Alton (7 miles north-west) and Waterlooville (15 miles south-west).

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Greatham.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
What we are called out for in Greatham
In Greatham, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A motor that trips out or overheats
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Greatham, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
What your quote should include
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether a written report and photos are included
