The process
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. For a village or hamlet like Norwood Hill, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.

About our extract fan repair in Norwood Hill
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. If you are dealing with a fan that keeps cutting out and a dead fan motor, we can help, from kitchen extract fans, fan motors and roof and wall fans onwards.
A callout to a small place like Norwood Hill goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Why act early in Norwood Hill
Wherever the kitchen is, Norwood Hill included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice. It’s simpler to plan the work at Norwood Hill now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before any work starts.
Why book with us
- Photo reports with every job
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking

- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Belts and pulleys

What extract fan repair looks like in Norwood Hill
Norwood Hill is about 23 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. In Norwood Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Mole Valley council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.

What your team can do, and what needs us
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What the work involves, part by part
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.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
