Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Badshot Lea
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
- The size of the system
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Useful things to send:
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Extract fan repair in Badshot Lea
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. If you’re dealing with a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a fan rattling in its housing, we can help.
In a village or hamlet like Badshot Lea, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
Why deal with it now?
In Badshot Lea, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Badshot Lea rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Visits to a village like Badshot Lea are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Badshot Lea questions
Do you work at weekends in Badshot Lea?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Badshot Lea doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who inspects food businesses in Badshot Lea?
Kitchens in Badshot Lea are inspected by Waverley council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Typically, a fan repair takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Where parts need ordering, we will explain the timescale.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them 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.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.

The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 90 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 31 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Badshot Lea. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Badshot Lea, about 34 miles from central London, is within our usual area.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Badshot Lea and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
