Surrey · Extract fan repair and replacement
Extractor fan repair in Stroude
One call covers repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts in Stroude, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Stroude
Grease and fans do not mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan that has stopped working and a fan that whines, hums or grinds.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. 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.

What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. 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 job takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. For a village or hamlet like Stroude, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- 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.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
Advice
When to call us in Stroude
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Stroude or anywhere else. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan that will not start at all
- A fan rattling in its housing
For kitchens close to Virginia Water station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7.
Questions to ask before booking
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
- Proof of insurance
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Stroude: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stroude?
Kitchens in Stroude are inspected by Runnymede council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Stroude?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Stroude is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
It depends on the fault, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. You will know more once we have found the fault.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Noise typically comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults and we find the exact cause on site.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
How much notice should we give?
Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What happens if it’s left?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

Extract fan repair around Stroude
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 49 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 7 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Stroude. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Stroude, about 21 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Kitchens in Stroude get their food hygiene inspections from Runnymede council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as St Ann's Heath Junior School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Christ Church or elsewhere in Stroude, can seize between uses.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
