Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Extract fan repair in Newdigate
Grease and fans do not mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. Typical jobs include an old fan that needs replacing and a fan shaking on its mountings, across kitchen extract fans, fan housings and bearings.
For a fan repair in or near Newdigate, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Common problems we fix in Newdigate
In Newdigate, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan shaking on its mountings
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Newdigate CofE Endowed Aided Infant School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Common questions in Newdigate
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Newdigate?
Kitchens in Newdigate are inspected by Mole Valley council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you cover Newdigate for emergency fan repairs?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Newdigate 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.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults, and we diagnose it on site.
What’s TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
We look at repairing it first. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer, and we will explain why.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
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.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.

What else we do in Newdigate
What a clean won’t put right
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Where we work
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans

Extract fan repair in Newdigate: local notes
There are about 3 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Newdigate, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Newdigate is about 24 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. It’s Mole Valley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Newdigate. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Newdigate, can seize between uses.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. For a village or hamlet like Newdigate, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.

Part by part
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
