Extract fan repair in Oxted
Across Oxted, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. If you’re dealing with a worn or slipping fan belt and an old fan that needs replacing, we can help, from fan housings, bearings and belts and pulleys onwards.
For a fan repair near Oxted, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, so pictures of the fan and its rating plate help.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
A fan that is 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 a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly.

Why act early in Oxted
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you are busiest. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Light use slows the build-up but doesn’t stop it.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Why book with us
- A written report with photos after each visit
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- We diagnose before we treat
When to call us in Oxted
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot, trips out or eventually burns out.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan that will not start at all
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- An overheating extract motor
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Hazelwood School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Before you book anyone
- Proof of insurance
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
FAQs for Oxted
Can you get to a site in Oxted?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Oxted included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Oxted?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Oxted is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
How much notice do you need?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We do. 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 survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Extract fan repair around Oxted
There are about 30 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Oxted, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. In Oxted, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tandridge council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. At about 18 miles from central London, Oxted sits well inside the area we cover. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
If you run a kitchen close to Hurst Green station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Agatha's Hall or elsewhere in Oxted, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

What we do, step by step
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. In a smaller place like Oxted, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
