How we handle extract fan repair in Frimley Green
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that is what we’ll recommend. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. We’re often asked to deal with vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a fan that keeps cutting out, on fan motors, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Frimley Green often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer, and we will explain the options.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s 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.

Leave it or put it right?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. It’s better to plan the work at a site near Frimley Green than wait for a failure.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Why us?
- In business since 2009
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- A fixed price before any work starts
Common questions in Frimley Green
Do you work at weekends in Frimley Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Frimley Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711, or email photos, mention when the site is quiet.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Frimley Green?
Kitchens in Frimley Green are inspected by Surrey Heath council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance and that’s one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
What is TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What affects the quote in Frimley Green
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- What state the system is in
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- A single visit or a regular plan
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Everything the job in Frimley Green needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

If you run a café or takeaway near Farnborough North station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. For school kitchens, at schools like Cross Farm Infant School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before you book.
What the work covers
- Belts and pulleys
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Bearings
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
