About our extract fan repair in Abinger Hammer
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. The work covers fan housings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a failed fan that needs a replacement.
In a small place like Abinger Hammer, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What affects the quote in Abinger Hammer
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The size of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
When it’s something else
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- 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
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. The timing of a visit to Abinger Hammer is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that won’t start is not always a failed motor.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Why act early in Abinger Hammer
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

What we are called out for in Abinger Hammer
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan that won’t start at all
Fan failures around Abinger Hammer don’t keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.

FAQs for Abinger Hammer

Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Abinger Hammer?
Food hygiene inspections in Abinger Hammer are carried out by Guildford council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Do you provide a certificate or report?

How much time does a fan repair need?

Are you insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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.
