Extract fan repair in Felbridge, done properly

Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you are cooking. If you have weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a knocking noise from the extract fan, we can put it right, from fan motors, belts and pulleys and fan housings onwards.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Felbridge
Is Felbridge within the area you cover?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Felbridge included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come to Felbridge after we close?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Felbridge can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- What state the system is in
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Felbridge
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan that won’t start at all
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
Hall kitchens near St John's Felbridge, or anywhere around Felbridge, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
Before you book anyone
- Whether a written report and photos are included
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the figure could change on the day

When a fan fails in Felbridge
Food Standards Agency data counts about 9 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways in Felbridge and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In Felbridge, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tandridge council. 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. We cover Felbridge, about 25 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.
For school kitchens, at schools like Felbridge Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and renew them where necessary.
