- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen

Why deal with it now?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. Booking now means the visit to Byfleet is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.

- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Byfleet
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we will say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you have an old fan that needs replacing and a worn or slipping fan belt, we can help, from belts and pulleys, fan motors and bearings onwards.
In a smaller place like Byfleet, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. That is what our 24/7 emergency callout is for.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option and we’ll talk you through it.
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. A site near Byfleet typically has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Clear the space around the work
Get a fixed quote
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.

Byfleet questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Byfleet?
That’s Woking council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Byfleet. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you work overnight in Byfleet?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Byfleet keeps running as normal. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. 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.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What extract fan repair looks like in Byfleet
Food Standards Agency data counts about 27 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 13 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Byfleet. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Food hygiene inspections in Byfleet are the job of Woking council’s environmental health team. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. We cover Byfleet, about 20 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.
If you manage a school such as St Mary's CofE Controlled Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Byfleet, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. For a takeaway near Byfleet & New Haw station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

What affects the quote in Byfleet
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
If you need extract fan repair in Byfleet, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
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.

What a clean will not put right
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
