Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Hurtmore
Grease and fans do not mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and bearings, and the jobs we see most are a fan that won’t start at all and a squealing belt on start-up.
In a village or hamlet like Hurtmore, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

For landlords and multi-site operators
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
What we do, step by step
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 an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Hurtmore, let us know and we will plan around it.
- 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.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
How we price extract fan repair
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The scale of the work
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from pictures. Try to include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Honest limits
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.
Parts of the system we cover

Questions from Hurtmore
Can the work in Hurtmore be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Hurtmore does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Hurtmore?
In Hurtmore, it’s Guildford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Where does the waste go?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Do you cover Hurtmore?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Hurtmore included.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Extract fans in Hurtmore
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 30 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 8 takeaways in and around Hurtmore, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. It’s Guildford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hurtmore. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority. At about 31 miles from central London, Hurtmore sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Charterhouse School, fix a failing fan before term starts. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere in Hurtmore, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Why act early in Hurtmore
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Rural sites cannot always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
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.
