Extract fan repair in Cuddington
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before we start. If you have a fan shaking on its mountings and a fan that won’t start at all, we can put it right, from fan housings, belts and pulleys and fan motors onwards.
Somewhere as small as Cuddington, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

FAQs for Cuddington
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Cuddington?
That is Sutton council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Cuddington. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you work overnight in Cuddington?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Cuddington doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
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.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What accreditations do you have?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
When a fan fails in Cuddington
Look up Cuddington on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 108 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 43 takeaways and sandwich shops in Cuddington and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Cuddington is about 11 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Kitchens in Cuddington get their food hygiene inspections from Sutton council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Dunstan, or anywhere in Cuddington, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Nonsuch High School for Girls, rather than mid-term.

Common problems we fix in Cuddington
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats, trips out or eventually burns out.
Look out for any of the following:
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
If you run a kitchen close to Cheam station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether VAT is included
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- When the next visit should be, and why
Looking after it afterwards
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Cuddington
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. In a small place like Cuddington, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Move anything stored near the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Advice
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’ll tell you before we start. It does not solve:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.
Where we work
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Travel, parking and unloading
- The scale of the work
- Any permits to work or inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Some systems can be priced from photos; 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.
