Extract fan repair in Langley Vale, done properly
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you have a fan rattling in its housing and a fan that whines, hums or grinds, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Do you need extract fan repair in Langley Vale?
Fans everywhere, Langley Vale included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan rattling in its housing
If you manage a school such as The Vale Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
What to look for in a quote
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- If they look at the system before pricing
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
What happens on the day
Night work is normal for us. 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 part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. The timing of a visit to Langley Vale is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.

Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
Langley Vale: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Langley Vale?
In Langley Vale, it’s Epsom and Ewell council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Can you come to Langley Vale after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in Langley Vale keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
It depends on the fault, but most jobs take a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. You will know more once we’ve found the fault.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

What else we do in Langley Vale
Different parts, different methods
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.
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
