Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Meadvale
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you have a fan that whines, hums or grinds and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, we can help.
Around a place like Meadvale, a pub, café or care home kitchen with a failed fan cannot carry on cooking as normal. That is what our 24/7 emergency callout is for.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Do you need extract fan repair in Meadvale?
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An overheating extract motor
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A humming noise from the fan motor
If you manage a school such as Reigate School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The condition of the system
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
Helping us quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job and we plan around it.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Meadvale: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Meadvale?
The local authority for Meadvale is Reigate and Banstead council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Meadvale at night?
Meadvale is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. A fixed quote follows.
How much time does a fan repair need?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. You’ll know more once we have found the fault.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
Noise is usually the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
Leave it or put it right?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Even a site near Meadvale that’s only busy part of the week needs its system checked on a schedule.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
The process
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and we clear up before we go. Because the survey comes first, a visit to Meadvale can usually be finished without a second trip.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Clear the space around the work
