What a clean will not put right
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It does not solve:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in East Horsley
Wherever your kitchen is in East Horsley, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you are cooking. The work covers belts and pulleys, bearings and fan motors, and the jobs we see most are a dead fan motor and a fan shaking on its mountings.
A callout to a place like East Horsley is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, based on what you tell us about the fan.
A written report with pictures follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.

How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Your questions about extract fan repair in East Horsley
Is East Horsley within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, East Horsley included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in East Horsley?
In East Horsley, it’s Guildford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Do we need to close the kitchen for fan work?
The extract must be off while the fan is opened up. We plan the visit around your hours, so service isn’t lost.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, 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.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What extract fan repair looks like in East Horsley
Food Standards Agency data counts about 13 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of East Horsley. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in East Horsley are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. At about 21 miles from central London, East Horsley sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as The Raleigh School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. For a takeaway near Horsley station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Martin or elsewhere in East Horsley, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

What happens if it’s left?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. A quieter site near East Horsley still needs its system looked after.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
