Extract fan repair in East Molesey
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. The work covers fan motors, belts and pulleys and bearings, and people most often call us about an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a whining or grinding extract motor.
In a place like East Molesey, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer, and we’ll explain the options.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

More services for East Molesey
Do you need extract fan repair in East Molesey?
Fans everywhere, East Molesey included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A squealing belt on start-up
If you run a café or takeaway near Hampton Court station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and renew them where needed.
East Molesey: your questions answered
Will you come out to East Molesey?
Yes. East Molesey is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in East Molesey?
Food hygiene inspections in East Molesey are carried out by Elmbridge council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Is there help out of hours when the extract fails?
Our emergency line is open 24/7. Just call 0345 646 2711 or email us at any time if the extract stops and we will organise an engineer.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What happens if it’s left?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
What affects the quote in East Molesey
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What extract fan repair looks like in East Molesey
There are about 62 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 14 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of East Molesey, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in East Molesey are the job of Elmbridge council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. East Molesey is about 13 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like The Orchard Infant School, fix a failing fan before term starts. Hall kitchens near Church of St Mary, or anywhere around East Molesey, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
