When a fan fails in Newnham
Food Standards Agency data counts about 10 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Newnham. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Newnham are the job of Basingstoke and Deane council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. Newnham, about 41 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
Kitchens in Newnham can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops. Hall kitchens near Church of St. Nicholas, or anywhere around Newnham, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Extract fan repair in Newnham
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. We’re often asked to deal with a belt-driven fan that squeals and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, on fan motors, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans.
For a fan repair in or near Newnham, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Newnham and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Aftercare tips
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Clean or change filters on schedule
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
Why it’s worth doing now in Newnham
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. A planned visit to Newnham is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before work begins.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Newnham
Can the work in Newnham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Newnham keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Newnham out of hours?
Newnham is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
How much time does a fan repair need?
That depends on what’s wrong, but most jobs take an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. You will know more once we have found the fault.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Repair is always our starting point. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer, and we will explain why.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that is one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job and we plan around it.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that won’t start isn’t always a failed motor.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
