Extract fan repair across Greater London: what to expect

A faulty fan does not always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we’ll say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. Typical jobs include a humming noise from the fan motor and a belt-driven fan that squeals, on fan housings, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans.

We turn up at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before work begins, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed.

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.
The work is done and the fan is tested running.

Extract fan repair across Greater London: local notes

In Greater London, we repair and replace fans in places such as London, City of Westminster and Marylebone and the smaller places around them. Every place on our Greater London list (764 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 Greater London do not have to lose a day.

London: If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Charles Dickens Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. If you run a café or takeaway near Elephant & Castle station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.

Different parts, different methods

Direct-drive fans

Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option, and we’ll explain why.

Fan controls

Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.

What extract fan repair can’t fix

An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair won’t do:

An extract system that was undersized from the start
Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer

Looking after it afterwards

Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:

Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Keep all filters fitted while cooking

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 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.

What we’re called out for in Greater London

Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.

The symptoms we’re asked about most are:

Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
A fan that will not start at all
A belt-driven fan that squeals
A fan rattling in its housing

Why deal with it now?

Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer.

Do we need to close the kitchen for fan work?

Is there a survey before the work?

Yes. We always survey first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.

That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
