- Parking and loading at the site
- The condition we find in the survey

Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:

- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is

Extract fan repair in Horndean
Wherever your kitchen is in Horndean, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. 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 kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about a knocking noise from the extract fan and a fan shaking on its mountings.
Extract fans on buildings in towns like Horndean are often on a flat roof or an outside wall, where they take the weather as well as the grease. Belts, bearings and motors wear out in the end.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Extract fans in Horndean
Food Standards Agency records list about 12 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 16 takeaways and sandwich shops in Horndean 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. Horndean, about 57 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from East Hampshire council inspect food businesses in Horndean. 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 run a school kitchen, at a school such as Horndean Technology College or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Around Horndean
In Horndean, that means kitchens and buildings near Horndean Infant School and Red Lion Inn, among other places.

What happens if it’s left?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly and the fan may stop when you’re busiest. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. A small fault found now is a quick job; the same fault found later can close the site.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

Common questions in Horndean
Do you cover Horndean for emergency fan repairs?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Horndean is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Who inspects food businesses in Horndean?
In Horndean, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We will tell you what we see, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, 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.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Horndean
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Common problems we fix in Horndean
Kitchen extract fans in Horndean face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A dead fan motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Saint Wilfrid's or elsewhere in Horndean, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We will tell you if that is what we find so you know who to call.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job and we plan around it.
