Extract fan repair in Felcourt
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we will say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. If you have a fan rattling in its housing and a humming noise from the fan motor, we can put it right, from roof and wall fans, fan housings and belts and pulleys onwards.
A callout to a small place like Felcourt goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, 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.

Common problems we fix in Felcourt
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A dead fan motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
For a takeaway near Dormans station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report

Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
Felcourt questions
Do you cover smaller places like Felcourt?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Felcourt included. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Felcourt?
Kitchens in Felcourt are inspected by Tandridge council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What types of premises do you cover?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.

Part by part
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself before recommending a fix.
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.

What affects the quote in Felcourt
You’ll get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

How it works
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, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. The timing of a visit to Felcourt is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
