How we handle extract fan repair in South Park

Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. If you are dealing with a belt-driven fan that squeals and a fan rattling in its housing, we can put it right, from roof and wall fans, bearings and fan housings onwards.

Kitchens around a smaller place like South Park often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired, and we’ll explain the options.

Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

South Park questions

Can you come out to a failed extract fan in South Park out of hours?

Our emergency line runs 24/7, and South Park is within the area we cover. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.

Do you work overnight in South Park?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in South Park can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.

Do you offer maintenance contracts?

Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

Do you recommend a next date?

Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.

What will a fan repair or replacement cost?

We cannot price it without knowing the fault. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.

Does the law say we must follow TR19?

No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. We always survey first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.

Managing agents and facilities teams in South Park

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.

Signs you need extract fan repair in South Park

Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.

The symptoms we’re asked about most include:

  • Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
  • A fan that keeps cutting out
  • An extract fan that rattles or knocks
  • A humming noise from the fan motor

If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Luke's, or anywhere in South Park, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Questions to ask before you book

Different parts, different methods

Motors and bearings

A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.

Fan controls

Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.

Extract fans in South Park

There are about 54 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 14 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of South Park, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. South Park is about 20 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. Kitchens in South Park get their food hygiene inspections from Reigate and Banstead council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.

Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Sandcross Primary School, rather than mid-term.

From the centre of South Park to the outskirts, extract fan repair is available to all kinds of commercial premises, from small sites to large estates.

Why act early in South Park

In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. When a site near South Park shuts unexpectedly, the people who rely on it notice at once.

Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

When something else is needed

Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:

  • Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
  • A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
  • Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean

Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Where we work

  • Fan housings
  • Kitchen extract fans
  • Fan motors
  • Roof and wall fans
  • Bearings
  • Belts and pulleys

What your team can do, and what needs us

Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

What happens on the day

Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Evenings, weekends or a closed day all work for a site in a place like South Park.

  1. We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
  2. With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
  3. Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
  4. We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
  5. We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Tell us where we can park and unload
