Surrey · Extract fan repair and replacement
Extract fan repair and replacement in Albury, Surrey
Repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Albury. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan shaking on its mountings
What the work involves, part by part
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.
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Extract fan repair in Albury, done properly
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we’ll say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. If you have a fan rattling in its housing and a fan that won’t start at all, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and bearings onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something 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 give you a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up 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. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Albury run smoothly.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Report new noises from the fan early
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
Common problems we fix in Albury
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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An overheating extract motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that will not start at all
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Albury, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Albury
Do you cover Albury for emergency fan repairs?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Albury is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Will you come out to Albury?
Yes. Albury is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
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.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
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.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
