How we handle extract fan repair in Ash Green
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Ash Green, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. The work covers fan motors, roof and wall fans and bearings, and the jobs we see most are a fan shaking on its mountings and a fan worn beyond sensible repair.
Somewhere as small as Ash Green, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
How we price extract fan repair
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- How easy every part is to reach
- The scale of the work
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Why us?
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
- Every visit written up, with photos
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- We’re fully insured

When a fan fails in Ash Green
Look up Ash Green on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Ash Green, up to about a mile and a half out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Food hygiene inspections in Ash Green are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. Ash Green is about 32 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run a café or takeaway near Ash station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Ash Grange Primary School, rather than mid-term. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Ash Green, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Local landmarks in Ash Green
Typical jobs here are in premises near The Dover Arms, The Connaught School and Ash Manor School, among other places. The closest station to Ash Green is Ash station, about 0.6 miles north-west of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Farnham Castle (4.4 miles west) and Guildford Hospital (4.2 miles east). The countryside around Ash Green includes Ash Ranges and Hog's Back.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
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.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
Ash Green questions
Is Ash Green within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Ash Green included. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you work in Ash Green outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote so there are no surprises.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Ash Green
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Sometimes a clean is all it needs as long as the bearings are still sound.
