Extract fans in Wonersh
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Wonersh and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Kitchens in Wonersh get their food hygiene inspections from Waverley council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority. At about 28 miles from central London, Wonersh sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Wonersh United Reformed Church or elsewhere in Wonersh, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Extract fan repair in Wonersh
Grease and fans do not mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers fan housings, fan motors and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about a fan rattling in its housing and an extract fan that has stopped working.
In a small place like Wonersh, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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 first, 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. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Wonersh run smoothly.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Wonersh
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so here are the limits:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
Signs you need extract fan repair in Wonersh
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An overheating extract motor
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Bramley CofE Aided Infant School and Nursery, rather than mid-term.

Leave it or put it right?
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Common questions in Wonersh
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Wonersh?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Wonersh is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Who inspects food businesses in Wonersh?
That’s Waverley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Wonersh. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
How much time does a fan repair need?
As a guide, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Where parts need ordering, we’ll explain the timescale.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Duct Doctor is fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults and we find the exact cause on site.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Usually not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
