- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A humming noise from the fan motor
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Never run the extract with filters missing
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
Extract fan repair in Shepperton, done properly
Working on a fan in Shepperton means switching the extract off first, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you are cooking. The work covers fan housings, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans, and people most often call us about an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a fan that won’t start at all.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Shepperton often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. When an older fan fails, replacing it can be the better answer.
We’ve been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

What happens if it’s left?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Light use slows the build-up but does not stop it.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.

What we’re called out for in Shepperton
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
What we are most often called out for:
- A dead fan motor
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An overheating extract motor
- A whining or grinding extract motor
Hall kitchens near Church of St Nicholas, or anywhere around Shepperton, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
Questions to ask before booking
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Shepperton
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Whether several sites go on one quote
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
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.
Questions from Shepperton
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Shepperton at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Shepperton is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do you cover smaller places like Shepperton?
Yes. Shepperton is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and we clear up before we go. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Shepperton, so let us know how to reach it.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before work begins.
Advice
When it’s something else
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly.
