For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
When a fan fails in Ansteadbrook
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 3 restaurants, cafés and canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Ansteadbrook. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. About 38 miles out from central London, Ansteadbrook is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Environmental health officers from Waverley council inspect food businesses in Ansteadbrook. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
Whether the kitchen is in Ansteadbrook itself or nearby, a fan is checked for grease, wear and damage before we recommend a repair or replacement.

Which council inspects kitchens in Ansteadbrook?
The local authority for Ansteadbrook is Waverley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before any work starts.

Do you need extract fan repair in Ansteadbrook?
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that won’t start is not always a dead motor.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan that won’t start at all
If a fan fails in Ansteadbrook at night or at a weekend, our emergency line is open.

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. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Why deal with it now?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you’re busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line, and we’ll explain what it covers.

Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations.
What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
