About our extract fan repair in Longmoor

A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we’ll say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. The work covers fan motors, belts and pulleys and bearings, and the jobs we see most are weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and an old fan that needs replacing.

In a small place like Longmoor, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.

We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

When a fan fails in Longmoor

About 45 miles out from central London, Longmoor is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Food hygiene inspections in Longmoor are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.

Kitchens in Longmoor can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops.

Do you need extract fan repair in Longmoor?

Fans everywhere, Longmoor included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.

These are the problems we see most often:

  • A failed fan that needs a replacement
  • A fan that will not start at all
  • Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
  • A worn or slipping fan belt

If you manage a school such as Greatham Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

What your quote should include

  • What paperwork you get at the end
  • What insurance they carry
  • Whether VAT is included

Our hiring checklist

Managing agents and facilities teams in Longmoor

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.

Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

How the visit works

When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Longmoor, let us know and we’ll plan around it.

  1. We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
  2. The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
  3. We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
  4. You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
  5. The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Tell us where we can park and unload
  • Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Ask for a quote

Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before we start.

How the job changes from site to site

Direct-drive fans

Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option, and we will explain why.

Roof and wall-mounted fans

Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Longmoor

Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Longmoor out of hours?

We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Longmoor is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.

Can the work in Longmoor be done at night or at weekends?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Longmoor needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.

Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?

We look at repairing it first. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer, and we will explain why.

Who has the legal duty for fire safety?

The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.

What is TR19?

A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.

Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?

The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll tell you what we see, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.

What affects the quote in Longmoor

We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:

  • Parking and loading at the site
  • The condition of the system
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
  • Any permits to work or inductions

A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.

What to send for a quote

To speed up the quote, please include:

  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Why it’s worth doing now in Longmoor

A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Longmoor is calmer for everyone.

Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
