FAQs for Hooley
Can parking be tricky for a job in Hooley?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Can you come to Hooley after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Hooley keeps running as normal. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Repair is always our starting point. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible, and we’ll explain why.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
About our extract fan repair in Hooley
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that is what we’ll recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you have vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, we can put it right.
London extract fans often sit on rooftops, exposed to the weather as well as the grease, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. A fan that is noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

What extract fan repair looks like in Hooley
There are about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Hooley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning. Food hygiene inspections in Hooley are the job of Reigate and Banstead council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Coulsdon Sixth Form College, fix a failing fan before term starts. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Hooley, can seize between uses.

When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- An extract system that was undersized from the start

For landlords and multi-site operators
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
How the visit works
We’re used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Hooley needs from us.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: 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 many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Why it’s worth doing now in Hooley
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

How we price extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
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. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes, so we ask about it early.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
