Part by part
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
How we handle extract fan repair in Old Dean
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. The work covers belts and pulleys, bearings and roof and wall fans, and common reasons people get in touch are poor airflow at the canopy and a dead fan motor.
For a fan repair near Old Dean, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, so pictures of the fan and its rating plate help.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Old Dean
Is Old Dean within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you cover Old Dean for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Old Dean are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and pictures, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work and we will talk you through what’s involved.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
When a fan fails in Old Dean
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 14 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 11 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Old Dean. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. At about 29 miles from central London, Old Dean sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Environmental health officers from Surrey Heath council inspect food businesses in Old Dean. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you manage a school such as Collingwood College and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Martin's Church or elsewhere in Old Dean, can seize between uses.

The process
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. For a place like Old Dean, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- 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
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.
What we work on in Old Dean

Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.

Leave it or put it right?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. A planned visit to Old Dean fits your hours; an emergency does not.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will talk you through it.
