Extract Fan Repair in Surrey

About extract fan repair in Surrey

Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Surrey, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. We’re often asked to deal with a humming noise from the fan motor and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, across kitchen extract fans, fan housings and belts and pulleys.

The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and we clear up before we go.

  1. A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
  2. The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
  3. We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
  4. We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
  5. The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.

What you’ll pay

Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

Local landmarks in Guildford

Locally, jobs take us to businesses close to Surrey Maths School, Sandfield Primary School and Guildford High School, among other places. You’ll also find Church of St John the Evangelist (within half a mile east), Stoke Park (less than half a mile east) and The King's Head pub (within half a mile south-east). Guildford’s nearest station is London Road (Guildford) station, roughly 0.6 miles south-east. A little further out are Guildford Castle (0.9 miles south) and Guildford House (0.8 miles south). Not far away are Silent Pool and Pewley Hill.

Where we work in Surrey

Fans across Surrey sit on rooftops, outside walls and in plant rooms. Belts, bearings and motors all wear in the end, faster with grease and weather.

Surrey is within the area we cover, which takes in London and the South East. Each job starts with a survey and a fixed quote.

Guildford: If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Guildford, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Sandfield Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Part by part

Belt-driven fans

A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and renew them where necessary.

Direct-drive fans

Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option, and we’ll explain why.

What happens if it’s left?

Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one.

Comparing quotes

  • Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
  • How they set the interval to the next visit
  • What hours they’ll be on site
  • Exactly which parts of the system are covered

When something else is needed

We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:

  • Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
  • Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
  • An extract system that was undersized from the start

Looking after it afterwards

So the system stays in good health:

  • Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
  • Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
  • Report new noises from the fan early
  • Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line

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.

A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.

For landlords and multi-site operators

For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.

Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Common questions in Surrey

Do you look at the system first?

Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

How much notice should we give?

That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.

Does the report say when we need you again?

Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.

How long does an extract fan repair take?

It depends on the fault, but as a guide it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. We will give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.

How do you keep the site clean during the work?

With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.

Do you have insurance?

Yes. We carry full insurance, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What should go in our maintenance log?

The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
