What affects the quote in Crondall
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Extract fan repair in Crondall, done properly
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. Typical jobs include a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a fan that keeps cutting out, on fan housings, bearings and fan motors.
In a small place like Crondall, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Keeping the system healthy
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Extract fan repair around Crondall
Crondall is about 38 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. Environmental health officers from Hart council inspect food businesses in Crondall. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
For school kitchens, at schools like Crondall Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. Hall kitchens near Church of All Saints, or anywhere around Crondall, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Crondall.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading

Related advice
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Crondall and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and cause vibration.
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.
Leave it or put it right?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

Questions from Crondall
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Crondall at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Crondall can be reported on our emergency line. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Is Crondall within the area you cover?
Yes. Crondall is within the area we cover across London and the South East. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
