Extract fan repair for commercial sites in West Molesey and across Surrey. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.

Extract fan repair in West Molesey, done properly
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. We’re often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mountings and a motor that trips out or overheats, on fan housings, belts and pulleys and roof and wall fans.
In a smaller place like West Molesey, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. That is what our 24/7 emergency callout is for.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What we’re called out for in West Molesey
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- An overheating extract motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- Poor airflow at the canopy
If you manage a school such as Chandlers Field Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Questions to ask before you book
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If they look at the system before pricing
What staff can safely do
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. That’s our job.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.

Part by part
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Cleaning it can cure the noise as long as the bearings are still sound.
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.

What affects the quote in West Molesey
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:

- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
What you pay depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.

Your questions about extract fan repair in West Molesey
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in West Molesey?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and West Molesey is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you work in villages like West Molesey?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, West Molesey included. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. 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.
Is there a survey before the work?
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.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, from grease and debris to used cleaning water. We don’t leave it behind.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s 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. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. We tidy up and take our waste away before we leave.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near West Molesey when you book.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
Why deal with it now?
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Systems on quieter sites still build up dirt and wear, just more slowly.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.
