Surrey · Extract fan repair and replacement
Old Malden extract fan repair
Extract fan repair across Old Malden and nearby, booked around your opening hours and signed off in writing with pictures.
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
Common problems we fix in Old Malden
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that is a common source of rattles.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A dead fan motor
If you run a kitchen close to Tolworth station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Old Malden
Kitchens in Old Malden call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. If you have a belt-driven fan that squeals and an old fan that needs replacing, we can help, from kitchen extract fans, fan housings and belts and pulleys onwards.
In a smaller place like Old Malden, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, 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.

Old Malden questions
Do you work overnight in Old Malden?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Old Malden needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you work in villages like Old Malden?
Yes. Old Malden is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
We cannot price it without knowing the fault. After we’ve checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes, 24/7. Office hours are Monday to Friday, 8am to 6pm, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Bigger sites can be done in stages so parts stay in use.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What extract fan repair looks like in Old Malden
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 102 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 61 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Old Malden. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. It’s Epsom and Ewell council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Old Malden. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. At about 11 miles from central London, Old Malden sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Knollmead Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Parish Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Old Malden, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Old Malden is about 2 miles north-west of Ewell, in Surrey. Old Malden gets the same approach as every site we work on: diagnosis first, a fixed price, out-of-hours working where needed and a written report with pictures. Across Surrey, we cover 395 places, and Old Malden is one of them. London is in our area too, around 11 miles away.
All of KT19, KT4 and KT5 is covered for extract fan repair, from the main roads to the quietest streets. That includes premises on Curtis Road, Rowden Road and Grafton Road and the roads around them. We also cover Worcester Park (1 mile east), Tolworth (1 mile north-west), Stoneleigh (1 mile south-east), Berrylands (1 mile north-west) and Chessington (2 miles south-west).

Near you in Old Malden
In Old Malden, that means kitchens and buildings near Richard Challoner School, The Plough Inn Public House and Hogsmill LNR, among other places. For rail, the closest station is Tolworth station, about 0.5 miles west. A little further out are Bentall Centre (3 miles north-west) and Tolworth Hospital (0.9 miles west). Green spaces nearby include The Lake and Kingston Hill Road area.
What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
What we do, step by step
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. The middle part takes longest, which takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Old Malden, so let us know how to reach it.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Clear the space around the work
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site

Advice
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

What affects the quote in Old Malden
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
