Surrey · Extract fan repair and replacement
Extractor fan repair in Abinger
Repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts for commercial sites in Abinger and across Surrey. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
When something else is needed
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It does not solve:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Abinger
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. The work covers kitchen extract fans, bearings and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that won’t start at all and a worn or slipping fan belt.
Somewhere as small as Abinger, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Common questions in Abinger
Can the work in Abinger be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Abinger needn’t be disturbed. When you ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Can you get to a site in Abinger?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Abinger is covered. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
How much time does a fan repair need?
That depends on what’s wrong, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. You’ll know more once we have found the fault.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote so there are no surprises.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Abinger
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
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 give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What else we do in Abinger
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
When to call us in Abinger
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that is a common source of rattles.
Look out for any of the following:
- A dead fan motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St James, or anywhere in Abinger, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

How the visit works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. In a small place like Abinger, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- 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.
- 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
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Get a fixed quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
