How we handle extract fan repair in Pinewood Village
Wherever your kitchen is in Pinewood Village, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you’re cooking. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan motors and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about a fan that keeps cutting out and a whining or grinding extract motor.
In a smaller place like Pinewood Village, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.

Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Pinewood Village when you book.

- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.

Advice
Common questions in Pinewood Village
Do you cover Pinewood Village for emergency fan repairs?
Day or night, a failed fan in Pinewood Village can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Which council inspects kitchens in Pinewood Village?
In Pinewood Village, it’s East Hampshire council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we’re there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Cleaning it can cure the noise as long as the bearings are still sound.
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
When a fan fails in Pinewood Village
There are about 14 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 12 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Pinewood Village, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. About 42 miles out from central London, Pinewood Village is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Food hygiene inspections in Pinewood Village are the job of East Hampshire council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Mark's Sacred Church or elsewhere in Pinewood Village, can seize between uses. School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Bordon Junior School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What else we do in Pinewood Village
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
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.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
Why act early in Pinewood Village
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to Pinewood Village at a time that suits you.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- What state the system is in
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
