Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Laleham
Wherever your kitchen is in Laleham, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. We’re often asked to deal with a humming noise from the fan motor and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, on roof and wall fans, bearings and kitchen extract fans.
For a fan repair near Laleham, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, based on what you tell us about the fan.
A written report with pictures follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What we’re called out for in Laleham
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A dead fan motor
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Laleham CofE VA Primary School, rather than mid-term.
What your quote should include
- Whether a survey comes first
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote shows VAT
When something else is needed
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly before booking.

Laleham: your questions answered
Can you work in Laleham outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Laleham can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Laleham out of hours?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Laleham is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. If repair is not sensible, we replace the fan. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs before recommending a unit.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
Extract fan repair around Laleham
Food Standards Agency records list about 100 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 20 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Laleham. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. We cover Laleham, about 18 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you. It’s Spelthorne council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Laleham. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
Hall kitchens near Church of All Saints, or anywhere around Laleham, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Why act early in Laleham
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. A quieter site near Laleham still needs its system looked after.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Different parts, different methods
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.
Impellers and housings
The impeller does the work of moving air through the system. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Laleham, so let us know how to reach it.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
