Extract fan repair across Tuesley and nearby, timed so the site keeps working and signed off in writing with photos.

- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A dead fan motor
How we price extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
We don’t list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- The postcode and the type of business
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
Extract fan repair in Tuesley
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. Typical jobs include an old fan that needs replacing and a fan rattling in its housing, across bearings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.

What a clean will not put right
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Extract fans in Tuesley
Look up Tuesley on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 10 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 3 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Tuesley. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In Tuesley, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Waverley council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. We cover Tuesley, about 32 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
If you manage a school such as Godalming College and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. Hall kitchens near St John the Evangelist's Church, or anywhere around Tuesley, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. If you run a café or takeaway near Milford (Surrey) station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.
Tuesley is about 6 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. Tuesley gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where necessary and a written report with photos. We cover 395 places across Surrey, large and small. There’s also a page for Guildford, about 6 miles away.
Extract fan repair in GU7 is surveyed, quoted and booked the same way as anywhere else. That includes premises on Tuesley Lane, Sycamore Avenue and Chervil Close and the roads around them. Close by, we work in Enton Green (1 mile south), Ockford Ridge (1 mile south-west), Hydestile (1 mile south-east), Milford (1 mile west) and Aaron's Hill (1 mile north). Within a short drive, we also cover Guildford (6 miles north), Woking (11 miles north), Camberley (12 miles north), Farnham (8 miles west), Dorking (14 miles east) and Frimley (11 miles north-west).
Around Tuesley
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around The Refectory pub, Phillips Memorial Park and Milford School, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Milford (Surrey) station, about 0.6 miles south-west. Other landmarks nearby include Milford Hospital (less than half a mile south-west) and Godalming Museum (1.3 miles north). Open spaces near Tuesley include Farncombe Wood and Hydon's Ball.
How the visit works
We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Somewhere as small as Tuesley, the date and timings are agreed with you well before the day.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear the space around the work
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Why it’s worth doing now in Tuesley
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. Somewhere as small as Tuesley, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
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.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Questions from Tuesley
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Tuesley?
Food hygiene inspections in Tuesley are carried out by Waverley council. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Do you work at weekends in Tuesley?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Tuesley can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Typically, a fan repair takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that is likely to be.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and we can share the details when you need them.
