How we handle extract fan repair in Haslemere
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. We’re often asked to deal with an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a squealing belt on start-up, across fan housings, bearings and kitchen extract fans.
In a smaller place like Haslemere, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Haslemere
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
How it works
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. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Your opening hours decide when we come to Haslemere, not ours.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that is the cause, we will say so and explain what we found.
What extract fan repair looks like in Haslemere
There are about 25 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 9 takeaways and sandwich shops in Haslemere and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Haslemere, about 39 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. It’s Waverley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Haslemere. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you cook near Haslemere station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early. For school kitchens, at schools like Shottermill Infant School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

FAQs for Haslemere
Will you come out to Haslemere?
Yes, Haslemere is part of our area, however small the site. The journey is planned ahead, so a few details about the route help.
Which environmental health team covers Haslemere?
In Haslemere, it’s Waverley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible, and we will explain why.
Are you insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not law, but it’s the benchmark.
What about areas you cannot get to?
Anything we can’t reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Why act early in Haslemere
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

When to call us in Haslemere
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A squealing belt on start-up
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Christopher or elsewhere in Haslemere, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.

What else we do in Haslemere
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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 can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
