Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Addlestone
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. The work covers fan housings, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a belt-driven fan that squeals.
In a place like Addlestone, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Addlestone and across Surrey. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
When to call us in Addlestone
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
Clients usually contact us when they notice one of these:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan that won’t start at all
If you manage a school such as Darley Dene Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
What to look for in a quote
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What hours they’ll be on site
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
What affects the quote in Addlestone
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
You do not need the technical terms. Just send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings

What a clean won’t put right
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Extract fans in Addlestone
Look up Addlestone on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 83 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 25 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Addlestone, 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. In Addlestone, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Runnymede council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. We cover Addlestone, about 19 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
For kitchens close to Addlestone station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Paul's, or anywhere in Addlestone, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Your opening hours decide when we come to Addlestone, not ours.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Addlestone questions
Is Addlestone within the area you cover?
Yes. Addlestone is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Addlestone?
In Addlestone, it’s Runnymede council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Are you insured?
Yes, fully. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it for clients who vet their contractors.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Repair is always our starting point. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible, and we will explain why.
