Extract fan repair in Brockham, done properly
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that’s what we will recommend. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. The work covers roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a dead fan motor.
In a small place like Brockham, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Brockham and turn up when the site is quiet.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Brockham
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A whining or grinding extract motor
Hall kitchens near Christ Church, or anywhere around Brockham, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the price is fixed
Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it, and we’ll explain why.
Belt-driven fans
Squealing at start-up often points to a belt. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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, next to our reports.
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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What extract fan repair looks like in Brockham
Look up Brockham on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Brockham. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. We cover Brockham, about 20 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Food hygiene inspections in Brockham are the job of Mole Valley council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like North Downs Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

When it’s something else
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer

Brockham questions
Can the work in Brockham be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Brockham can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work in villages like Brockham?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Brockham is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. The area we’re working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and clean down when we finish.
