How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Thorncombe Street
If an extract fan in Thorncombe Street is struggling or has stopped, we find the cause and quote a fixed price for the repair or the replacement. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about a fan that keeps cutting out and an old fan that needs replacing.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Leave it or put it right?
In Thorncombe Street, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Thorncombe Street rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

Thorncombe Street questions
Will you come out to Thorncombe Street?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Thorncombe Street is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Thorncombe Street at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Thorncombe Street is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
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. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Thorncombe Street and across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near Thorncombe Street, let us know and we’ll plan around it.
- 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.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What else we do in Thorncombe Street
When a fan fails in Thorncombe Street
About 31 miles out from central London, Thorncombe Street is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Kitchens in Thorncombe Street get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Fan failures around Thorncombe Street don’t keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Godalming College, rather than mid-term.
Thorncombe Street is about 5 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. Whatever kind of site you run in Thorncombe Street, extract fan repair is something we can help with. Visits can be booked for evenings, overnight or weekends so trading isn’t interrupted. Thorncombe Street is one of 395 towns, villages and districts in Surrey where we work for extract fan repair.
All of GU5 is covered for extract fan repair, from busy streets to back roads. Extract fan repair is available to premises on Thorncombe Street and Alldens Hill and the roads around them. If your site is just outside Thorncombe Street, we cover Munstead Heath (1 mile west), Birtley Green (1 mile north-east), Grafham (1 mile east), Hascombe (1 mile south) and Bramley (2 miles north-east).

Landmarks near Thorncombe Street
The nearest railway station is Godalming station, about 2.3 miles north-west. Well-known places in the area include Milford Hospital (2.4 miles west) and Godalming Museum (2.2 miles north-west). For a walk, there’s Farncombe Wood and Hydon's Ball.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
Grease on the fan normally means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
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, alongside our reports.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Thorncombe Street
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
