About our extract fan repair in Onslow Village
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. Typical jobs include an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a humming noise from the fan motor, across fan motors, bearings and roof and wall fans.
For a fan repair near Onslow Village, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, so photos of the fan and its rating plate help.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with photos after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Onslow Village when you book.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean

What we’re called out for in Onslow Village
Kitchen extract fans in Onslow Village face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A motor that trips out or overheats
If you manage a school such as Onslow Infant School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Before you book anyone
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether a survey comes first
- How VAT is shown on the quote
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
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.
Common questions in Onslow Village
Which council inspects kitchens in Onslow Village?
That’s Guildford council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Onslow Village. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Onslow Village?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Onslow Village is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Which records should we keep?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote so there are no surprises.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
