Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Extract fan repair in East Clandon, done properly
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. The work covers fan housings, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a fan that whines, hums or grinds.
In a small place like East Clandon, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Report new noises from the fan early
Grease on the fan normally means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
East Clandon questions
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in East Clandon?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and East Clandon is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Which environmental health team covers East Clandon?
That is Guildford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in East Clandon. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise usually 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.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan normally means grease in the ducts, and we can arrange both.

Common problems we fix in East Clandon
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that’s a common source of rattles.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An overheating extract motor
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A worn or slipping fan belt
For school kitchens, at schools like Clandon CofE Aided Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
What to look for in a quote
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether VAT is included
Leave it or put it right?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Planning a trip to East Clandon ahead is easier for everyone than a rushed one.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
