From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Rowly
Across Rowly, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. If you’re dealing with a fan shaking on its mountings and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, fan motors and roof and wall fans onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Rowly
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Rowly at night?
Extract fan emergencies in Rowly are covered around the clock. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Will you come out to Rowly?
Yes. Rowly is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance and that is one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
That depends on what’s wrong, but most jobs take an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. You’ll know more once we’ve found the fault.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work, and we will explain the options.

We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

What extract fan repair looks like in Rowly
Food Standards Agency records list about 16 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 4 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Rowly. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Rowly, about 29 miles from central London, is within our usual area. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site. Food hygiene inspections in Rowly are the job of Waverley council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Glebelands School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
Fan failures around Rowly do not keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.

Why act early in Rowly
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
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.
Aftercare tips
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that won’t start isn’t always a failed motor.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
