Surrey · Extract fan repair and replacement
Extract fan repair and replacement in Hurst Green, Surrey
One call covers extract fan repair in Hurst Green, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A dead fan motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
When to call us in Hurst Green
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
If you manage a school such as Hurst Green Infant School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Extract fan repair in Hurst Green, done properly
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. The work covers roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and fan motors, and people most often call us about a fan that whines, hums or grinds and an extract fan that has stopped working.
For a fan repair in or near Hurst Green, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Part by part
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that is the cause, we’ll say so and explain what we found.
Aftercare tips
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
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.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
When a fan fails in Hurst Green
There are about 32 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Hurst Green, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In Hurst Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tandridge council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. About 18 miles out from central London, Hurst Green is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Agatha's Hall, or anywhere in Hurst Green, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. For a takeaway near Hurst Green station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

Common questions in Hurst Green
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Hurst Green?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Hurst Green is part of our area. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Who inspects food businesses in Hurst Green?
In Hurst Green, it’s Tandridge council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
What accreditations do you have?
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.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What is TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How it works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Hurst Green knowing what to expect.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Get a fixed quote
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
