Extract fan repair in Shalford, done properly
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, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you have a fan rattling in its housing and an overheating extract motor, we can help, from fan housings, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys onwards.
In a village or hamlet like Shalford, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the visit works
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to Shalford is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.

Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit 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.

Extract fan repair around Shalford
Food Standards Agency data counts about 25 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Shalford. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Shalford, about 28 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Food hygiene inspections in Shalford are the job of Guildford council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
For a takeaway near Shalford station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Shalford Infant School, rather than mid-term.

What affects the quote in Shalford
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- How big the system is
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Common questions in Shalford
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Shalford?
Day or night, a failed fan in Shalford can be reported on our emergency line. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Who inspects food businesses in Shalford?
Food hygiene inspections in Shalford are carried out by Guildford council. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we’ve checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
When to call us in Shalford
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
These are the problems we see most often:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan that will not start at all
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A humming noise from the fan motor
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Shalford, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
What your quote should include
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How they set the interval to the next visit
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think.
