Extract fan repair and replacement in Forest Green, Surrey

Extract fan repair in Forest Green, done properly
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. If you are dealing with a failed fan that needs a replacement and a fan rattling in its housing, we can help.
In a small place like Forest Green, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

When a fan fails in Forest Green
In Forest Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mole Valley council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. At about 27 miles from central London, Forest Green sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Forest Green, can seize between uses.
Forest Green is about 6 miles south-west of Dorking, in Surrey. Whether your site is in the middle of Forest Green or further out, extract fan repair is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from a single unit to a large public building. 395 places in Surrey are on our list, from busy centres to quieter spots.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.

Between visits
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
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 and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
When something else is needed
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
When to call us in Forest Green
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that will not start at all
If a fan fails in Forest Green at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- The scale of the work
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.
What we need to know
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your last certificate, test record or report
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
How the visit works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Visits to a village like Forest Green are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Forest Green questions
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Forest Green?
Forest Green is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Forest Green?
The local authority for Forest Green is Mole Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do I get a report after the visit?
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.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Often, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
