Repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts for commercial sites in Sutton Green and across Surrey. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.

How we handle extract fan repair in Sutton Green
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we will say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, a replacement suited to the system goes in. The work covers bearings, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans, and people most often call us about a whining or grinding extract motor and a fan worn beyond sensible repair.
Somewhere as small as Sutton Green, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Why deal with it now?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. Rural sites can’t always move to another kitchen or room when something fails.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Sutton Green.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Preparing for the visit

What extract fan repair looks like in Sutton Green
There are about 11 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Sutton Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Kitchens in Sutton Green get their food hygiene inspections from Woking council. 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. About 25 miles out from central London, Sutton Green is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Hoe Valley School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

FAQs for Sutton Green
Which council inspects kitchens in Sutton Green?
In Sutton Green, it’s Woking council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Do you work in villages like Sutton Green?
Yes, Sutton Green is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Do you recommend a next date?
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 to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Do you need extract fan repair in Sutton Green?
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A humming noise from the fan motor
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near All Souls' Church or elsewhere in Sutton Green, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
Questions to ask before you book
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether a written report and photos are included
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
