Chertsey questions
Can you get to a site in Chertsey?
Yes. Chertsey 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 inspects food businesses in Chertsey?
Food hygiene inspections in Chertsey are carried out by Runnymede council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. Grease on the fan typically means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
What do you do to protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
In many cases, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts, and we will always say when repair makes sense.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we will talk you through what’s involved.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Extract fan repair in Chertsey
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a clear explanation of what was done. If you are dealing with weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a fan shaking on its mountings, we can put it right.
A callout to a place like Chertsey is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, based on what you tell us about the fan.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What a clean will not put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself

- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Around Chertsey, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

What else we do in Chertsey
When to call us in Chertsey
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A dead fan motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A humming noise from the fan motor
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Chertsey, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Why act early in Chertsey
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. A site near Chertsey that has to close at short notice is hard to cover for.
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll talk you through it.

When a fan fails in Chertsey
There are about 72 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 16 takeaways and sandwich shops across Chertsey and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Environmental health officers from Runnymede council inspect food businesses in Chertsey. 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. Chertsey, about 19 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you cook near Chertsey station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as St Anne's Catholic Primary School, rather than mid-term.
