What we do, step by step
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. A site near Mytchett usually has room to park, so the questions are about access to the system and your hours.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

About our extract fan repair in Mytchett
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that will not start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. The work covers bearings, fan housings and kitchen extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a belt-driven fan that squeals and poor airflow at the canopy.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Mytchett often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer, and we will explain the options.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Mytchett: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Mytchett?
In Mytchett, it’s Surrey Heath council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you work at weekends in Mytchett?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Mytchett needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Is Mytchett in your area?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Mytchett.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Do you need extract fan repair in Mytchett?
In Mytchett, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Look out for these warning signs:
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An old fan that needs replacing
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Mytchett, can seize between uses.
What to look for in a quote
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Whether they recommend a next date
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Why act early in Mytchett
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. 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. Even a site near Mytchett that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

What extract fan repair looks like in Mytchett
There are about 56 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 30 takeaways in and around Mytchett, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Mytchett, about 31 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. In Mytchett, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Mytchett Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You’ll hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
