For landlords and multi-site operators
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Extract fan repair in Mickleham, done properly
Across Mickleham, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. Common call-outs are for a squealing belt on start-up and a motor that trips out or overheats, across roof and wall fans, bearings and fan housings.
Somewhere as small as Mickleham, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think before booking.

Leave it or put it right?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. A planned visit to Mickleham is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Do not 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
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and the quieter it runs.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
When a fan fails in Mickleham
Food Standards Agency data counts about 16 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within about 1.5 miles of central Mickleham. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. About 19 miles out from central London, Mickleham is part of the South East area we work across. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. In Mickleham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mole Valley council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
Hall kitchens near Church of St Michael, or anywhere around Mickleham, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. For school kitchens, at schools like St Michael's CofE Aided Infant School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report.

- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Move anything stored near the system
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system

Advice
How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
- Any previous report or certificate
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow

Mickleham questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Mickleham?
That is Mole Valley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Mickleham. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Can you get to a site in Mickleham?
Yes, Mickleham is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Do we need to close the kitchen for fan work?
The extract must be off while the fan is opened up. Most kitchens book us out of hours, so service isn’t lost.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Noise normally comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We do not leave it behind.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
