Dawesgreen extract fan repair
Extract fan repair across Dawesgreen and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and finished with a written report and pictures.
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
What your team can do, and what needs us
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
About our extract fan repair in Dawesgreen
Grease and fans do not mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. If you have an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a fan that won’t start at all, we can put it right, from bearings, fan housings and kitchen extract fans onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Related advice
Do you need extract fan repair in Dawesgreen?
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Dawesgreen 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.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Burys Court School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Before booking anyone
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Whether the price is fixed
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Dawesgreen gets to the real cause. With notice, the visit to Dawesgreen can be fitted around your bookings and events.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Dawesgreen and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

Yes. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.

It can be one of a few things, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.

Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Grease on the fan normally means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
