What a clean won’t put right
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Extract fan repair in Sutton, done properly
If an extract fan in Sutton is struggling or has stopped, we find the cause and quote a fixed price for the repair or the replacement. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers belts and pulleys, bearings and roof and wall fans, and common reasons people get in touch are weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and a motor that trips out or overheats.
In London, a kitchen without working extraction can’t keep cooking safely, and a closed kitchen loses a night’s trade. In Sutton, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so we ask about access first.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Report new noises from the fan early
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You will hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
What we do, step by step
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Sutton.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Advice
What extract fan repair looks like in Sutton
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 194 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 110 sandwich bars and takeaways in Sutton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Lifting a replacement fan onto a London roof can need a loading slot and the building’s agreement. Food hygiene inspections in Sutton are the job of Sutton council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you run a café or takeaway near Sutton (London) station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Nicholas Church, or anywhere in Sutton, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Sutton
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- The times the site is available
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Helping us quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
What we’re called out for in Sutton
Kitchen extract fans in Sutton face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Robin Hood Junior School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Sutton: your questions answered
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Sutton out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in Sutton can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Sutton?
In Sutton, it’s Sutton council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
How far ahead should we book?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That’s generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We will point out grease where we find it and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
