Extract fan repair and replacement in Ashford, Surrey
Professional extract fan repair in and around Ashford, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with pictures.
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A dead fan motor
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Extract fan repair in Ashford, done properly
Across Ashford, we deal with fan faults of every kind, 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. We’re often asked to deal with a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a squealing belt on start-up, on belts and pulleys, bearings and fan motors.
Many fans around a town like Ashford sit on a flat roof or an outside wall, exposed to wind and rain as well as grease. In time, belts, bearings and motors wear.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

FAQs for Ashford
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Ashford?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Ashford is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Which council inspects kitchens in Ashford?
That’s Spelthorne council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ashford. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.

What extract fan repair looks like in Ashford
Look up Ashford on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 58 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 19 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Ashford. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. In Ashford, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Spelthorne council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority. Ashford is about 17 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Matthew or elsewhere in Ashford, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. If you manage a school such as Spelthorne College and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. For kitchens close to Ashford Surrey station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

What affects the quote in Ashford
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

Part by part
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.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that won’t start is not always a failed motor.
What happens on the day
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before we start, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. The more we can see of the system beforehand, the smoother the visit to Ashford will be.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
