Extract fan repair in Walliswood, done properly
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. We’re often asked to deal with a worn or slipping fan belt and a motor that trips out or overheats, on belts and pulleys, fan housings and fan motors.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

What we’re called out for in Walliswood
In Walliswood, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A squealing belt on start-up
Kitchens in Walliswood can call our 24/7 emergency line whenever an extract fan stops.

- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Walliswood
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The size of the system
- The times the site is available
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Any previous report or certificate
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Questions from Walliswood
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Walliswood?
Food hygiene inspections in Walliswood are carried out by Mole Valley council. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Can you work in Walliswood outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Walliswood can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Noise usually comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults, and we diagnose it on site.
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. 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. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Walliswood can be planned properly.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Walliswood
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
