Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that is the cause, we’ll say so so you know who to call.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and renew them where needed.
Extract fan repair in Shackleford, done properly
Kitchens in Shackleford call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers fan motors, roof and wall fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are a fan rattling in its housing and a fan shaking on its mountings.
In a small place like Shackleford, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Shackleford
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Shackleford?
The local authority for Shackleford is Guildford council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can you get to a site in Shackleford?
Yes, Shackleford is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will arrange a diagnosis.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Typically, a fan repair takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that’s likely to be.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan typically means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Leave it or put it right?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. A planned visit to Shackleford is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, and we will explain what it covers.

Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- 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.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
Extract fans in Shackleford
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Shackleford. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. We cover Shackleford, about 32 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Food hygiene inspections in Shackleford are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Shackleford, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. For school kitchens, at schools like St Mary's CofE Voluntary Controlled Infant School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Shackleford.
- 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.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
