The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Visits to a village like Christmas Pie are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area

Advice
How we handle extract fan repair in Christmas Pie
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Christmas Pie, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. The work covers roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys, and the jobs we see most are a fan that won’t start at all and an overheating extract motor.
A callout to a small place like Christmas Pie goes better when we know what we are looking at: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
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 do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What extract fan repair looks like in Christmas Pie
Christmas Pie is about 31 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. It’s Guildford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Christmas Pie. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you run a café or takeaway near Wanborough station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Puttenham CofE Infant School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Bartholomew, or anywhere in Christmas Pie, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Christmas Pie is about 2 miles east of Ash, in Surrey. Sites in Christmas Pie get the same service as everywhere we cover: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with photos. Across Surrey, we cover 395 places, Christmas Pie among them.

Around Christmas Pie

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Leave it or put it right?
In Christmas Pie, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. With notice, the visit to Christmas Pie can be fitted around your bookings and events.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

Part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.
Christmas Pie questions
Do you cover smaller places like Christmas Pie?
Yes. Christmas Pie is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Christmas Pie?
In Christmas Pie, it’s Guildford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do we need to close the kitchen for fan work?
The fan has to be isolated while we work on it, so the kitchen cannot cook under it. That’s why we work evenings, overnight and at weekends.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
