When a fan fails in Vernham Dean
It’s Test Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Vernham Dean. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Vernham Dean Gillum's Church of England Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

About our extract fan repair in Vernham Dean
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you’re dealing with a failed fan that needs a replacement and a fan that keeps cutting out, we can put it right, from bearings, fan motors and roof and wall fans onwards.
In a small place like Vernham Dean, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Common questions in Vernham Dean
Which council inspects kitchens in Vernham Dean?
Kitchens in Vernham Dean are inspected by Test Valley council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Can the work in Vernham Dean be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Vernham Dean doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Seeing the system in photos first means the trip to Vernham Dean can be planned properly.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Common problems we fix in Vernham Dean
Kitchen extract fans in Vernham Dean face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A dead fan motor
- An old fan that needs replacing
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Vernham Dean, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What records you will receive afterwards
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
Why it’s worth doing now in Vernham Dean
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
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 any work starts.
What you get with us
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- One number for every site across the South East and London
