Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Littleton Common
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. We’re often asked to deal with a dead fan motor and a failed fan that needs a replacement, across bearings, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
In a village or hamlet like Littleton Common, the kitchens with extract fans are few, wherever there are any. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Littleton Common questions
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Littleton Common at night?
Extract fan emergencies in Littleton Common are covered around the clock. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Can you work in Littleton Common outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Typically, a fan repair takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Where parts need ordering, we’ll explain the timescale.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What about areas you cannot get to?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Surrey. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.

What else we do in Littleton Common
Why act early in Littleton Common
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. Equipment tucked in a roof space or outbuilding near Littleton Common rarely gets looked at unless someone books it.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What we’re called out for in Littleton Common
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that’s a common source of rattles.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Matthew or elsewhere in Littleton Common, can seize between uses.
What your quote should include
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Proof of insurance
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- If they look at the system before pricing
Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Fan housings
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
Extract fans in Littleton Common
There are about 53 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 19 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Littleton Common, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Littleton Common, about 16 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Environmental health officers from Spelthorne council inspect food businesses in Littleton Common. 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.
For school kitchens, at schools like Ashford CofE Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. If you run a kitchen close to Upper Halliford station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.
