Extract fan repair and replacement in Compton, Surrey
Extract fan repair for Compton, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.

Extract fan repair in Compton, done properly
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we will say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. We’re often asked to deal with a whining or grinding extract motor and a failed fan that needs a replacement, on fan motors, bearings and roof and wall fans.
For a fan repair in or near Compton, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When to call us in Compton
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 the noise follows.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Marys Parish Church, or anywhere in Compton, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Comparing quotes
- Proof of insurance
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
What affects the quote in Compton
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How big the system is
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- A few general shots of the system
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Why it’s worth doing now in Compton
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. In a place like Compton, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What happens on the day
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Somewhere as small as Compton, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

What else we do in Compton
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Compton
Who inspects food businesses in Compton?
The local authority for Compton is Guildford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you work at weekends in Compton?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Compton keeps running as normal. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we’ll quote them together.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we will explain the options.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. 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.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys

Extract fan repair around Compton
