Extract Fan Repair in West Kingston
Repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts for businesses, landlords and public buildings in West Kingston. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A dead fan motor
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You’ll hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
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.
How we handle extract fan repair in West Kingston
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you are dealing with poor airflow at the canopy and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, we can help, from fan housings, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans onwards.
In a small place like West Kingston, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Extract fan repair in West Kingston: local notes
West Kingston lies within about 1 mile of the sea. Rust and grease together wear a fan out sooner, and coastal air speeds up the rust. Food Standards Agency records list about 23 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 7 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of West Kingston. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In West Kingston, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Arun council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Andrew's Church or elsewhere in West Kingston, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as East Preston Infant School, rather than mid-term.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.

How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.
FAQs for West Kingston
Do you work at weekends in West Kingston?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. It means the site in West Kingston keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in West Kingston out of hours?
West Kingston is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Often it makes sense to do both. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date 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.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Honest limits
We will always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
