Swanmore questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Swanmore?
Kitchens in Swanmore are inspected by Winchester City council’s environmental health officers. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Do you work in villages like Swanmore?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Swanmore included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with pictures where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we’ll quote them together.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Noise usually comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different and we find the exact cause on site.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Extract fans in Swanmore
Look up Swanmore on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens in Swanmore and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Swanmore. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Barnabas or elsewhere in Swanmore, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Swanmore Church of England Aided Primary School, rather than mid-term.
Swanmore is about 6 miles east of Hedge End, in Hampshire. Swanmore gets the same approach as every site we work on: a survey first, a fixed quote, work timed around your hours and a report with photos. Our Hampshire coverage runs to 683 places, Swanmore among them. Our Southampton page covers sites nearby (9 miles or so).
Every address in SO32 is covered for extract fan repair, from busy streets to back roads. If you need extract fan repair at premises on Church Road, Myers Close and Spring Vale or a nearby road, our technicians can take on the work. We also cover Hill Grove (1 mile east), Upper Swanmore (1 mile north-east), Mislingford (1 mile south-east), Shirrell Heath (1 mile south) and Kingsmead (2 miles south-east). We also work in nearby towns such as Winchester (10 miles north-west), Gosport (10 miles south), Havant (10 miles south-east), Eastleigh (7 miles west), Fareham (6 miles south) and Horndean (8 miles east).
Landmarks near Swanmore
In Swanmore, that means kitchens and buildings near Swanmore College of Technology. For rail, the closest station is Botley station, roughly 3.7 miles south-west.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
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. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Leave it or put it right?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Booking now means the visit to Swanmore is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What you get with us
- Fully insured
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You’ll hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.

Honest limits
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
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. We plan the journey to Swanmore and bring what the job is likely to need.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
