Extract fan repair in Send, done properly
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. Typical jobs include weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a fan that whines, hums or grinds, across fan housings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.
Around a place like Send, a pub, café or care home kitchen with a failed fan can’t carry on cooking as normal. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

How we price extract fan repair
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Extract fans in Send
Food Standards Agency records list about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Send. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Environmental health officers from Guildford council inspect food businesses in Send. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. Send, about 24 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St William of York or elsewhere in Send, can seize between uses.

Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. For a site near Send, the work is booked around your opening hours, evenings and weekends included.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

Send: your questions answered
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Send?
Send is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you work in villages like Send?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Send is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults and we find the exact cause on site.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
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.

Why act early in Send
In Send, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before it becomes a nuisance. When a site near Send shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.
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 are unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.

- Trading since 2009
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

When to call us in Send
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that won’t start isn’t always a dead motor.
What we’re most often called out for:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Send CofE Primary School, rather than mid-term.
