How we price extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- What state the system is in
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Somewhere as small as Dormansland, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Extract fan repair around Dormansland
Food Standards Agency records list about 12 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Dormansland. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. At about 24 miles from central London, Dormansland sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. In Dormansland, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tandridge council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you run a café or takeaway near Dormans station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St John the Evangelist or elsewhere in Dormansland, can seize between uses. School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Dormansland Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Dormansland and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something 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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Part by part
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.
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding typically come from the bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself before recommending a fix.

What else we do in Dormansland
Common questions in Dormansland
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Dormansland?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Dormansland is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Which environmental health team covers Dormansland?
That’s Tandridge council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Dormansland. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we’ll tell you the reasons.
