Greater London · Extract fan repair and replacement
Agar Town extract fan repair
One call covers repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts in Agar Town, from survey to sign-off. Fully insured, with CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001.
- An old fan that needs replacing
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A motor that trips out or overheats
What we are called out for in Agar Town
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An extract fan that has stopped working
For a takeaway near Camden Road station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

How we handle extract fan repair in Agar Town
If an extract fan in Agar Town is struggling or has stopped, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. We’re often asked to deal with a motor that trips out or overheats and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, on fan housings, bearings and belts and pulleys.
In London, a kitchen without working extraction can’t keep cooking safely. In Agar Town, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so access is the first thing we ask about.
Think of the report as the 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 and sits alongside the report.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition of the system
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will typically have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Looking after it afterwards
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Questions from Agar Town
Can the work in Agar Town be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Agar Town needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Agar Town at night?
Extract fan emergencies in Agar Town are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. We always survey first, from your photos and details, or with a visit where necessary. Then you get a fixed quote.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What accreditations do you have?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Part by part
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
What extract fan repair looks like in Agar Town
Food Standards Agency data counts about 1,832 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 540 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Agar Town. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. In Agar Town, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Camden council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. London extract fans are often at the end of long duct runs, on roofs or in basements.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Abacus Belsize Primary School, rather than mid-term. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near All Saints, or anywhere in Agar Town, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system

How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Agar Town is no exception.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- 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.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.
