What extract fan repair looks like in Cramhurst
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Cramhurst and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. We cover Cramhurst, about 34 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Cramhurst. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St John the Evangelist's Church or elsewhere in Cramhurst, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. If you run a kitchen close to Milford (Surrey) station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.

Extract fan repair in Cramhurst
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. The work covers fan motors, belts and pulleys and bearings, and common reasons people get in touch are a squealing belt on start-up and a fan rattling in its housing.
For a fan repair in or near Cramhurst, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What happens on the day
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 work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Cramhurst run smoothly.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Part by part
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We will tell you if that is what we find and explain what we found.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes, so we ask about it early.

Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Cramhurst rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Cramhurst
Can you work in Cramhurst outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you cover Cramhurst for emergency fan repairs?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Cramhurst is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not normally. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Noise typically comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults and we find the exact cause on site.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
