About our extract fan repair in Hydestile
Across Hydestile, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. If you’re dealing with a motor that trips out or overheats and a dead fan motor, we can help, from belts and pulleys, bearings and kitchen extract fans onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How it works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Hydestile before we set off.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us where we can park and unload

We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
Advice
Common questions in Hydestile
Do you work overnight in Hydestile?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which environmental health team covers Hydestile?
Kitchens in Hydestile are inspected by Waverley council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
As a guide, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Where parts need ordering, we’ll explain the timescale.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Hydestile
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. 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 in Hydestile: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Hydestile, up to about a mile and a half out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. At about 33 miles from central London, Hydestile sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. Kitchens in Hydestile get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Cleaning it can cure the noise as long as the bearings are still sound.
