Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Tilford Reeds
Across Tilford Reeds, 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 kitchen extract fans, fan motors and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are a worn or slipping fan belt and a fan worn beyond sensible repair.
For a fan repair in or near Tilford Reeds, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.

What else we do in Tilford Reeds
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Questions from Tilford Reeds
Do you work at weekends in Tilford Reeds?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in Tilford Reeds keeps running as normal. When you call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Who inspects food businesses in Tilford Reeds?
In Tilford Reeds, it’s Waverley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
It depends on the fault, but most jobs take an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. We will give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
What types of premises do you cover?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What a clean will not put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Where we work
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
How the visit works
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Somewhere as small as Tilford Reeds, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear the space around the work

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. The main factors are:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Parking and loading at the site
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
