What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
About our extract fan repair in Malden Rushett
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. We are often asked to deal with a failed fan that needs a replacement and a humming noise from the fan motor, across kitchen extract fans, fan housings and belts and pulleys.
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.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Common problems we fix in Malden Rushett

- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A worn or slipping fan belt

- A motor that trips out or overheats
Around Malden Rushett, a failed fan can be reported day or night on our 24/7 line.

How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Malden Rushett is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Advice
Extract fan repair in Malden Rushett: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 31 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 4 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Malden Rushett. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. A failed fan in a London kitchen typically means a closed kitchen, so access details help us plan the repair. Environmental health officers from Kingston-Upon-Thames council inspect food businesses in Malden Rushett. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Chessington Community College, rather than mid-term.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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 are happy to quote for all of it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Malden Rushett questions
Who inspects food businesses in Malden Rushett?
The local authority for Malden Rushett is Kingston-Upon-Thames council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.

What causes a noisy extract fan?
It can be one of a few things, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
How long will the fan be out of action?
It depends on the fault, but most jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We will give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
How we price extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The condition we find in the survey
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Travel, parking and unloading
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, and we’ll explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that won’t help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
