Extract Fan Repair in Great Burgh
Our technicians work in Great Burgh on repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports as standard.
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
Multi-site and managed buildings
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
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 can quote for the whole system.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Great Burgh
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that’s what we will recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. The work covers fan motors, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract fan that has stopped working and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Great Burgh often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes and we plan around it.
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.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Great Burgh
Can you get to a site in Great Burgh?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Great Burgh included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work at weekends in Great Burgh?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we’ll propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Repair is always our starting point. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we will tell you the reasons.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Typically, a fan repair takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that’s likely to be.
Extract fan repair around Great Burgh
Look up Great Burgh on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 32 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Great Burgh. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Great Burgh, about 14 miles from central London, is within our usual area. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. It’s Reigate and Banstead council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Great Burgh. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you cook near Tattenham Corner station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Shawley Community Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.

What extract fan repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
Where we work

What we are called out for in Great Burgh
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Great Burgh or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A whining or grinding extract motor
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Mark or elsewhere in Great Burgh, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
Questions to ask before you book
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What paperwork you get at the end
- What hours they’ll be on site
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
How it works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Everything the job in Great Burgh needs is worked out beforehand, from the survey.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
