Extract fan repair in Artington
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we will say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. If you are dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and a failed fan that needs a replacement, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Artington
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.

Advice
What extract fan repair can’t fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.

What the work involves, part by part
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 itself may be failing.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.

Extract fans in Artington
There are about 35 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 16 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Artington, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. We cover Artington, about 29 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Kitchens in Artington get their food hygiene inspections from Guildford council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Artington, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. For school kitchens, at schools like Shalford Infant School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. If you cook near Shalford station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.

Why deal with it now?
A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. It’s simpler to plan the work at Artington now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Common questions in Artington
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Artington at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Artington is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Will you come out to Artington?
Yes, Artington is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
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.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
