How extract fan repair works in City of London
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. Typical jobs include vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, on roof and wall fans, bearings and fan housings.
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed.
- 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.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.

Extract fan repair around City of London
In City of London, we repair and replace fans in places such as City of London and the smaller places around them. Every place on our City of London list (1 in all) is covered, around the clock for emergencies.
Much of our work across London and the South East happens in the evening, overnight or at weekends, so sites across City of London do not have to lose a day.
City of London: If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Olave Old Jewry or elsewhere in City of London, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. If you run a café or takeaway near London Cannon Street station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and the quieter it runs.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
What happens if it’s left?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether they recommend a next date
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
What staff can safely do
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What we are called out for in City of London
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
Common questions in City of London
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise typically comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
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’re fully insured.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
It depends on the fault, but as a guide it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. You’ll know more once we have found the fault.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, day and night, every day of the year. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
