Your questions about extract fan repair in Nob's Crook
Can the work in Nob's Crook be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Nob's Crook can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Will you come out to Nob's Crook?
Yes, Nob's Crook is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance, and we have been trading since 2009.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
We cannot price it without knowing the fault. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How we handle extract fan repair in Nob's Crook
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we will say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan motors and kitchen extract fans, and people most often call us about a fan rattling in its housing and an extract fan that has stopped working.
Somewhere as small as Nob's Crook, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Extract fans in Nob's Crook
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Nob's Crook. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Kitchens in Nob's Crook get their food hygiene inspections from Winchester City council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you manage a school such as Colden Common Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
Why act early in Nob's Crook
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. The timing of a visit to Nob's Crook is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive

Related advice
Part by part
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that’s the cause, we will say so and explain what we found.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What staff can safely do
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.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Nob's Crook
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An overheating extract motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan rattling in its housing
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Nob's Crook, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
