About our extract fan repair in Frensham
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan motors and fan housings, and people most often call us about weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a fan shaking on its mountings.
For a fan repair in or near Frensham, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Frensham
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Frensham?
Food hygiene inspections in Frensham are carried out by Waverley council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Do you work overnight in Frensham?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Repair is always our starting point. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer and we will tell you the reasons.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs so the first step is a diagnosis.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work, and we will explain the options.
What accreditations do you have?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Extract fan repair around Frensham
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Frensham, 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. Kitchens in Frensham get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority. About 38 miles out from central London, Frensham is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Frensham, can seize between uses.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work 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 Frensham.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Do you need extract fan repair in Frensham?
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan that won’t start at all
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as St Mary's CofE Aided Infant School, rather than mid-term.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Frensham
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The times the site is available
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- What state the system is in
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Why act early in Frensham
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- A fixed price before any work starts
- In business since 2009

What else we do in Frensham
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
