Advice
Extract fan repair in Chilworth
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. We’re often asked to deal with vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and an extract fan that has stopped working, on fan housings, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans.
In a village or hamlet like Chilworth, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
Why deal with it now?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.

Chilworth questions
Do you work overnight in Chilworth?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Chilworth doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Who inspects food businesses in Chilworth?
Kitchens in Chilworth are inspected by Guildford council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking and we can plan the two together.
Where does the waste go?
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.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
When to call us in Chilworth
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Chilworth or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan that keeps cutting out
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Chilworth CofE (Aided) Infant School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

When a fan fails in Chilworth
Chilworth is about 27 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. It’s Guildford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Chilworth. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Thomas or elsewhere in Chilworth, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. If you cook near Chilworth station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.

What a clean won’t put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
