Extract fan repair in Normandy, done properly
Kitchens in Normandy call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. If you are dealing with a whining or grinding extract motor and a fan shaking on its mountings, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Normandy, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

FAQs for Normandy
Can you work in Normandy outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Normandy keeps running as normal. When you call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, mention when the site is quiet.
Which environmental health team covers Normandy?
In Normandy, it’s Guildford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we are on site, so the visit goes in a quiet slot.

When a fan fails in Normandy
Normandy is about 30 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Normandy. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mark, or anywhere in Normandy, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. For a takeaway near Wanborough station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.
Normandy is about 4 miles east of Aldershot, in Surrey. Whatever kind of site you run in Normandy, extract fan repair is something we can help with. We can work out of hours so the site keeps running. Across Surrey, we cover 395 places, and Normandy is one of them.
Work in GU3 follows the same survey, fixed quote and written report as everywhere else we cover. That includes premises on Manor Farm Close, Guildford Road and Milton Close and the roads around them. We also cover the places around Normandy: Willey Green (1 mile east), Flexford (1 mile south), Christmas Pie (1 mile south), Wyke (1 mile west) and Wanborough (2 miles south). We also work in nearby towns such as Guildford (4 miles east), Woking (6 miles north-east), Camberley (6 miles north-west), Farnham (6 miles south-west), Egham (13 miles north-east) and Walton-on-Thames (14 miles north-east).
Landmarks near Normandy
Around Normandy, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Duke of Normandy pub, among other places. Normandy’s nearest station is Wanborough station, roughly 0.7 miles south of the centre. Well-known places in the area include Ash Museum (2.1 miles west) and Guildford Hospital (2.6 miles east). Not far away are Hog's Back and Ash Ranges.
What we do, step by step
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. In a small place like Normandy, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Get a fixed quote
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 pictures, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Advice
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option, and we’ll explain why.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think.

Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. It’s simpler to plan the work at Normandy now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

See our cost guide or our accreditations.
Between visits
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
Common problems we fix in Normandy
Fans everywhere, Normandy included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Wyke Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Before you book anyone

- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
