About our extract fan repair in Wormley
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we’ll say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you’re dealing with a fan rattling in its housing and a worn or slipping fan belt, we can help, from bearings, roof and wall fans and fan motors onwards.
In a small place like Wormley, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
How it 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. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Wormley and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Move anything stored near the system
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

What extract fan repair cannot fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll say what we think.

Extract fan repair in Wormley: local notes
It’s Waverley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wormley. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. Getting the fan running again is the priority. Wormley is about 35 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
Hall kitchens near Church of All Saints, or anywhere around Wormley, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like King Edward's School Witley, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Wormley is about 8 miles south of Guildford, in Surrey. Whether your site is in the middle of Wormley or further out, extract fan repair is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates. Wormley is one of 395 places in Surrey we cover for extract fan repair. There’s also a page for Guildford, about 8 miles away.

Wormley: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Wormley?
The local authority for Wormley is Waverley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. 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 Wormley?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Wormley does not have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Why act early in Wormley
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Somewhere as small as Wormley, losing a kitchen or building to a fault is felt by everyone who uses it.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

What we’re called out for in Wormley
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A dead fan motor
- An old fan that needs replacing
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
For kitchens close to Witley station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- What records you will receive afterwards
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
