About our extract fan repair in Westcott
Kitchens in Westcott call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. Typical jobs include a fan that whines, hums or grinds and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, on belts and pulleys, bearings and roof and wall 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.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Westcott questions
Which council inspects kitchens in Westcott?
In Westcott, it’s Mole Valley council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Can you get to a site in Westcott?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Westcott is covered. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
As a guide, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Where parts need ordering, we’ll explain the timescale.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, and the emergency line covers the rest.
Does the extract need to be off for a fan repair?
While we are working on the fan, the extract is isolated. We can come when the kitchen is closed so service carries on as normal.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.

What extract fan repair looks like in Westcott
Look up Westcott on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Westcott. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. At about 22 miles from central London, Westcott sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Food hygiene inspections in Westcott are the job of Mole Valley council’s environmental health team. 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.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St John's Community Hall or elsewhere in Westcott, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. If you manage a school such as Surrey Hills All Saints Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Why act early in Westcott
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. Our emergency line runs 24/7, but a planned visit to Westcott is calmer for everyone.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

How the visit works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Westcott run smoothly.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Related advice
Looking after it afterwards
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
When something else is needed
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Westcott
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Westcott
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Where the site is and how we reach it
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- A few general shots of the system
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The postcode and the type of business
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 we start.
