Questions from Epsom
Can you come to Epsom after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Epsom keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Which council inspects kitchens in Epsom?
Kitchens in Epsom are inspected by Epsom and Ewell council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Is Epsom in your area?
Yes. We work in Epsom and the rest of Surrey, within our South East and London area. To book, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise usually comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different and we find the exact cause on site.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. None of it is left on site.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for whichever option you choose.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Epsom
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. If you are dealing with a fan that won’t start at all and an old fan that needs replacing, we can help.
Extract fans on buildings in towns like Epsom are often on a flat roof or an outside wall, where they take the weather as well as the grease. In time, belts, bearings and motors wear.
We have been trading since 2009, as 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.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Epsom
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A dead fan motor
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St. Barnabas Church, or anywhere in Epsom, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Before you book anyone
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What paperwork you get at the end
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
What happens if it’s left?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Whatever the system, dirt and wear only get worse.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
