Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Surbiton Park
Grease and fans don’t mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. If you have an extract fan that rattles or knocks and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, we can help.
Replacing a fan in a London building often means working at height or in a tight plant space, with parking and lifting to arrange in Surbiton Park. Work can be done after service, so the kitchen loses as little time as possible.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How we price extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
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 work begins, so there are no surprises.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any previous report or certificate
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and photos, and we normally reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.

When a fan fails in Surbiton Park
Look up Surbiton Park on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 280 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 86 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Surbiton Park. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Food hygiene inspections in Surbiton Park are the job of Kingston-Upon-Thames council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority. Lifting a replacement fan onto a London roof can need a loading slot and the building’s agreement.
If you run a café or takeaway near Surbiton station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St John's Church or elsewhere in Surbiton Park, can seize between uses.
Surbiton Park is about 1 mile north-west of Surbiton, in Greater London.

Common problems we fix in Surbiton Park
Not every problem is mechanical. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that won’t start isn’t always a dead motor.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A whining or grinding extract motor
For school kitchens, at schools like St Andrew's and St Mark's CofE Junior School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the price is fixed
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a survey comes first
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
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.
What happens if it’s left?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all make a difference.

- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. For a job in Surbiton Park, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need

How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option, and we’ll explain why.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Surbiton Park questions
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Surbiton Park?
That is Kingston-Upon-Thames council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Surbiton Park. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you cover Surbiton Park for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Surbiton Park are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. 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.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
