Extract fan repair across Egham Wick

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Egham Wick

Across Egham Wick, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. The work covers bearings, fan housings and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a fan worn beyond sensible repair.

In a small place like Egham Wick, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.

Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Keeping the system healthy

Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

  • Never run the extract with filters missing
  • Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
  • Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
  • Report new noises from the fan early

Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.

Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.

What we do, step by step

We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Egham Wick.

  1. First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
  2. Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
  3. We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
  4. You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
  5. Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.

How to prepare

  • Clear the space around the work
  • Let us know about parking and loading
  • Have your last certificate or report to hand

Ask for a quote

Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What staff can safely do

Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Keep a record of what your team does. 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.

Leave it or put it right?

Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. A planned visit to Egham Wick is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Egham Wick questions

Can you work in Egham Wick outside opening hours?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Egham Wick keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Egham Wick?

Food hygiene inspections in Egham Wick are carried out by Runnymede council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.

How far ahead should we book?

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.

What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?

An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that is one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and we will quote them together.

What about areas you can’t get to?

We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.

What do you do with what you remove?

We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.

What does TR19 mean?

It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Egham Wick

Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind, and if they’re left they can seize.

It’s time to book a visit if you see:

  • An extract fan that has stopped working
  • A failed fan that needs a replacement
  • Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
  • A belt-driven fan that squeals

School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like St Cuthbert's Catholic Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Questions to ask before you book

Multi-site and managed buildings

Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.

When a fan fails in Egham Wick

Food Standards Agency records list about 25 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Egham Wick and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. We cover Egham Wick, about 22 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Food hygiene inspections in Egham Wick are the job of Runnymede council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of Saint Simon and Saint Jude or elsewhere in Egham Wick, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair

We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:

  • What state the system is in
  • How big the system is
  • The times the site is available
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Helping us quote

The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:

  • Problems your staff have spotted
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • Wide photos of the system and the area around it

There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
