Extract fan repair and replacement in Hinchley Wood, Surrey
We cover Hinchley Wood for repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- Poor airflow at the canopy
What affects the quote in Hinchley Wood
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Some systems can be priced from photos; 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 work begins.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Hinchley Wood
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we will say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan housings and bearings, and people most often call us about a dead fan motor and poor airflow at the canopy.
Around a place like Hinchley Wood, a pub, café or care home kitchen with a failed fan can’t carry on cooking as normal. That’s what our 24/7 emergency callout is for.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Hinchley Wood questions
Do you work at weekends in Hinchley Wood?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Hinchley Wood does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is Hinchley Wood within the area you cover?
Yes, Hinchley Wood is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
The process
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Hinchley Wood can normally be finished without a second trip.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
What a clean will not put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
What happens if it’s left?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
What you get with us

Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and renew them where necessary.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
What we’re called out for in Hinchley Wood
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
Hall kitchens near Hinchley Wood Church, or anywhere around Hinchley Wood, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
