How we handle extract fan repair in Wyke
Grease and fans don’t 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. Common call-outs are for an extract fan that has stopped working and a fan rattling in its housing, on belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and fan housings.
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.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Leave it or put it right?
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Asking for a quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What happens on the day
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. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Wyke.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
What a clean will not put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think.

Extract fan repair around Wyke
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways and sandwich shops across Wyke 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. We cover Wyke, about 31 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. It’s Guildford council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wyke. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Wyke, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Wyke Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Do you need extract fan repair in Wyke?
In Wyke, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A worn or slipping fan belt
If you run a café or takeaway near Ash station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.

Wyke: your questions answered
Can you work in Wyke outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Wyke at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Wyke is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
What accreditations do you have?
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.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We do. 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.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
That depends on what we find. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired, then send you a fixed quote.
Other services in Wyke
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job and we plan around it.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.
