Extract fan repair in Wraysbury

Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. Typical jobs include a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a humming noise from the fan motor, across belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and fan motors.

In a smaller place like Wraysbury, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. That is what our 24/7 emergency callout is for.

A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Wraysbury: your questions answered

What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Wraysbury at night?

Extract fan emergencies in Wraysbury are covered around the clock. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.

Can you come to Wraysbury after we close?

Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Wraysbury doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.

Do I get a report after the visit?

Yes. You get a written report with photos after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Will you tell us when the next visit is due?

Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.

Which sectors do you work in?

Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.

Do you work with multi-site operators?

Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.

Do we lose a day’s trading?

Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.

What we do, step by step

We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Wraysbury when you book.

  1. We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
  2. Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
  3. We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
  4. You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
  5. Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.

How to prepare

  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Clear loose items from the work area

Getting a quote

Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

When a fan fails in Wraysbury

Food Standards Agency data counts about 18 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Wraysbury, up to about a mile and a half out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Food hygiene inspections in Wraysbury are the job of Windsor and Maidenhead council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority. At about 20 miles from central London, Wraysbury sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.

If you run a café or takeaway near Sunnymeads station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Wraysbury, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Wraysbury Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Wraysbury is about 2 miles north of Egham, in Surrey. We carry out extract fan repair for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Wraysbury and the rest of Surrey. Our Surrey coverage runs to 395 places, and Wraysbury is one of them. We also work in Guildford, about 15 miles from Wraysbury.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Wraysbury

Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.

Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.

What extract fan repair can’t fix

Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:

  • A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
  • A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
  • Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control

Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Fan motors
  • Kitchen extract fans
  • Roof and wall fans
  • Fan housings
  • Belts and pulleys
  • Bearings

Keeping the system healthy

So the system stays in good health:

  • Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
  • Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
  • Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
  • Keep all filters fitted while cooking

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 outside your busiest hours.

Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.

How we price extract fan repair

We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:

  • The size of the system
  • What state the system is in
  • The number of sites or systems
  • When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends

One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.

Asking for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
  • The postcode and the type of business
  • The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
  • The times we could work without disrupting the site

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 photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

Part by part

Impellers and housings

A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.

Direct-drive fans

Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.

Leave it or put it right?

A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Booking now means the visit to Wraysbury is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.

Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
