Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Irons Bottom
If an extract fan in Irons Bottom is struggling or has stopped, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. If you have a belt-driven fan that squeals and a humming noise from the fan motor, we can help.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What a clean won’t put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Kitchen extract fans

What extract fan repair looks like in Irons Bottom
Food Standards Agency data counts about 6 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Irons Bottom and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Irons Bottom is about 21 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. In Irons Bottom, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Reigate and Banstead council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Emmanuel Church, or anywhere in Irons Bottom, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

FAQs for Irons Bottom
Do you cover Irons Bottom for emergency fan repairs?
Day or night, a failed fan in Irons Bottom can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Do you work at weekends in Irons Bottom?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Irons Bottom keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, as well as food production and leisure sites.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
Which records should we keep?
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 where they can be found quickly.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Grease on the fan normally means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
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. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Common problems we fix in Irons Bottom
In Irons Bottom, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A dead fan motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Burys Court School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether VAT is included
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. In a small place like Irons Bottom, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- 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
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
