When a fan fails in King's Somborne
It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in King's Somborne. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as King's Somborne Church of England Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Any permits to work or inductions
- What state the system is in
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What we need to know
When you call or email, these details help:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
King's Somborne questions
Who inspects food businesses in King's Somborne?
Food hygiene inspections in King's Somborne are carried out by Test Valley council. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Can you come to King's Somborne 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 are closed and we will book within them.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
It depends on the fault, but as a guide it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. We will give you a better idea once we have diagnosed it.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
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.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.

Why deal with it now?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. If the system at a site near King's Somborne fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we will price it together.

When to call us in King's Somborne
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul, or anywhere in King's Somborne, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
What to look for in a quote
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether they recommend a next date
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote shows VAT
When something else is needed
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
What we do, step by step
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to King's Somborne can be planned properly.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
