About our extract fan repair in Oxshott
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. The work covers fan motors, bearings and kitchen extract fans, and the jobs we see most are a squealing belt on start-up and a knocking noise from the extract fan.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Oxshott often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired, and we’ll explain the options.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Oxshott: your questions answered
Do you work in villages like Oxshott?
Yes, Oxshott is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Oxshott out of hours?
Oxshott is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We cannot price it without knowing the fault. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for whichever option you choose.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we’ll tell you the reasons.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Between visits
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We will tell you if that is what we find and explain what we found.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts, or the motor itself may be failing.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
What we are called out for in Oxshott
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
What we are most often called out for:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A dead fan motor
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
If you run a kitchen close to Oxshott station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.
Questions to ask before booking
- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Why it’s worth doing now in Oxshott
In Oxshott, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. A planned visit to Oxshott fits your hours; an emergency doesn’t.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

Extract fan repair around Oxshott
There are about 4 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Oxshott, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In Oxshott, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Elmbridge council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority. At about 16 miles from central London, Oxshott sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you manage a school such as The Royal Kent CofE Primary School 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 Andrew's Church or elsewhere in Oxshott, can seize between uses.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
