Extract fan repair in Farnham Royal
Across Farnham Royal, 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 fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. Typical jobs include a dead fan motor and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, on fan housings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.
A callout to a small place like Farnham Royal goes better when we know what we’re looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

When to call us in Farnham Royal
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A squealing belt on start-up
If you manage a school such as St Mary's Farnham Royal CofE Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- What records you will receive afterwards
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What we do, step by step
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 it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Somewhere like Farnham Royal, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.
- 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.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Farnham Royal: your questions answered
Can the work in Farnham Royal be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Farnham Royal keeps running as normal. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.

We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Farnham Royal is part of our area. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- What state the system is in
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How easy every part is to reach
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few photos and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Extract fan repair in Farnham Royal: local notes
There are about 36 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 35 sandwich bars and takeaways across Farnham Royal and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. We cover Farnham Royal, about 23 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. It’s Buckinghamshire council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Farnham Royal. 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 run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Farnham Royal, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
