Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think before booking.

Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Nalderswood.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit

- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Why act early in Nalderswood
In Nalderswood, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before it becomes a nuisance. It’s simpler to plan the work at Nalderswood now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

What else we do in Nalderswood
Nalderswood: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Nalderswood?
The local authority for Nalderswood is Mole Valley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Nalderswood out of hours?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Nalderswood is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic, then give you a fixed quote.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
The ductwork is a separate job. We will point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What we’re called out for in Nalderswood
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
Look out for these warning signs:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A motor that trips out or overheats
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Bartholomew or elsewhere in Nalderswood, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
