Do you need extract fan repair in Egham?
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A dead fan motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Manorcroft Primary School, rather than mid-term.

About our extract fan repair in Egham
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we will say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you are dealing with a failed fan that needs a replacement and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, fan housings and roof and wall fans onwards.
Extract fans on buildings in towns like Egham are often on a flat roof or an outside wall, where they take the weather as well as the grease. In time, belts, bearings and motors wear.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- 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)
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

When a fan fails in Egham
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 68 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 16 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Egham. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Egham is about 20 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Runnymede council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Egham. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St John's Church, or anywhere in Egham, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. For kitchens close to Egham station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

What happens on the day
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. A closed day, an evening or an early start: whichever suits your site in Egham, we will book around it.
- 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.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Egham
Can you work in Egham outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which environmental health team covers Egham?
That’s Runnymede council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Egham. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Do you work in Egham?
Yes. We work in Egham and the rest of Surrey, as part of our work across South East England and London. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
What staff can safely do
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and make it shake.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor isn’t always to blame.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
