- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds

Questions from St George's Hill
Is St George's Hill within the area you cover?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in St George's Hill?
In St George's Hill, it’s Elmbridge council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
Does the extract need to be off for a fan repair?
Yes, the extract has to be off while we work. Evening, overnight and weekend visits keep disruption down so you do not lose trade.
Why deal with it now?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Booking ahead lets us plan the trip to St George's Hill at a time that suits you.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that is the cause, we will say so and explain what we found.
How we price extract fan repair
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. Just send:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You will hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Noise is usually the first sign of a fan problem. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Your opening hours decide when we come to St George's Hill, not ours.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
