How we handle extract fan repair in Molesey
A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we’ll say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. Common call-outs are for a failed fan that needs a replacement and an extract fan that has stopped working, across kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and fan housings.
For a fan repair near Molesey, we plan the journey and bring what the job is likely to need, based on what you tell us about the fan.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
Leave it or put it right?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you’re busiest. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. It’s easy to lose track of when the work was last done on a quieter site.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes, typically within one working day

What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.

What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for whichever option you choose.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.
What affects the quote in Molesey
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- The size of the system
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Problems your staff have spotted
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
Extract fan repair in Molesey: local notes
Look up Molesey on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 62 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 14 takeaways in and around Molesey, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Kitchens in Molesey get their food hygiene inspections from Elmbridge council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. At about 13 miles from central London, Molesey sits well inside the area we cover. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Molesey, can seize between uses. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like The Orchard Infant School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Your opening hours decide when we come to Molesey, not ours.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Move anything stored near the system
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
When to call us in Molesey
In Molesey, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Clients typically contact us after spotting one of these:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
For a takeaway near Hampton Court station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.
Questions to ask before booking
