Extractor fan repair in Hersham
Extract fan repair for Hersham, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

- A knocking noise from the extract fan
How we handle extract fan repair in Hersham
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we’ll say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. If you have a fan that won’t start at all and a humming noise from the fan motor, we can put it right.
In a place like Hersham, extract fans are often older units on a wall or roof. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired, and we will explain the options.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Do you need extract fan repair in Hersham?
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Bell Farm Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. In a smaller place like Hersham, parking is rarely the issue, but tell us about gates, roof access and opening hours.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Tell us where we can park and unload
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What extract fan repair looks like in Hersham
Food Standards Agency records list about 42 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 20 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Hersham. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. About 16 miles out from central London, Hersham is part of the South East area we work across. The visit is fixed around your opening hours, not ours. Food hygiene inspections in Hersham are the job of Elmbridge council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
For a takeaway near Walton-On-Thames station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter or elsewhere in Hersham, can seize between uses.

Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and renew them where needed.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. Access affects how long a repair takes, so we ask about it early.
Common questions in Hersham
Which council inspects kitchens in Hersham?
The local authority for Hersham is Elmbridge 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.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Hersham?
Hersham is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work, and we’ll explain the options.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We will tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. A visit arranged in advance is far less disruptive than a callout on a busy day.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
