About our extract fan repair in Camberley
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. We’re often asked to deal with an old fan that needs replacing and a belt-driven fan that squeals, on kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans.
A noisy fan, weak extraction or a kitchen that gets hot and smoky are the usual warning signs. Catching those signs early in Camberley means the repair can be planned around service.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in Camberley
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
If you cook near Camberley station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Proof of insurance
What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Each month of use adds to the build-up, so a site in Camberley is better off booking it now.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.
What you get with us
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

Your questions about extract fan repair in Camberley
Can you work in Camberley outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Camberley keeps running as normal. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Camberley?
In Camberley, it’s Surrey Heath council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Who is the responsible person?
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.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
That depends on what we find. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired, then send you a fixed quote.

Looking after it afterwards
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Camberley
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- The condition we find in the survey
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. In a town like Camberley, we normally work after closing or on a quiet day, so the site opens again on time.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
When a fan fails in Camberley
There are about 66 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 28 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Camberley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council inspect food businesses in Camberley. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. Camberley, about 30 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Prior Heath Infant School, rather than mid-term. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Paul or elsewhere in Camberley, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
