About our extract fan repair in Netherne on-the-Hill
Wherever your kitchen is in Netherne on-the-Hill, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. If you have a fan worn beyond sensible repair and an overheating extract motor, we can help.
Rooftop fans in London take the weather as well as the grease from below, and in time, bearings, belts and motors fail. A fan that is noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
How it works
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a job in Netherne on-the-Hill, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
Get a fixed quote
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Advice
Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option, and we will explain why.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
How we price extract fan repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. Try to include:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Questions from Netherne on-the-Hill
How do you handle parking and loading in Netherne on-the-Hill?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Netherne on-the-Hill makes the visit easier to plan. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Netherne on-the-Hill?
In Netherne on-the-Hill, it’s Reigate and Banstead council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
The ductwork is a separate job. We will tell you what we see, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
Is there help out of hours when the extract fails?
There’s a 24/7 emergency and out-of-hours callout. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos at any time if the extract stops and we will organise an engineer.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Common problems we fix in Netherne on-the-Hill
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats, trips out or eventually burns out.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Margaret or elsewhere in Netherne on-the-Hill, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
