Extract Fan Repair in Surrex
Professional extract fan repair in and around Surrex, booked around your opening hours and finished with a written report and photos.
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
Extract fan repair in Surrex
Across Surrex, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. The work covers fan motors, kitchen extract fans and bearings, and the jobs we see most are a dead fan motor and a squealing belt on start-up.
Somewhere as small as Surrex, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option and we will talk you through it.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job and we plan around it.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Surrex
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Surrex
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How big the system is
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition of the system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. If you can send pictures, we can arrive in Surrex knowing what to expect.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Extract fans in Surrex
Look up Surrex on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways in Surrex and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Kitchens in Surrex get their food hygiene inspections from Braintree council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. At about 43 miles from central London, Surrex sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Peter ad Vincula, or anywhere in Surrex, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Honywood Community Science School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What a clean will not put right
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Surrex
Do you work overnight in Surrex?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. That way a site in Surrex does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who inspects food businesses in Surrex?
Food hygiene inspections in Surrex are carried out by Braintree council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not typically. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
