About our extract fan repair in Battersea
Wherever your kitchen is in Battersea, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. We are often asked to deal with a fan that won’t start at all and a motor that trips out or overheats, on fan motors, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys.
London extract fans often sit on rooftops, exposed to the weather as well as the grease, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. A fan that’s noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How we price extract fan repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. What affects the quote:
- What state the system is in
- The times the site is available
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Cleaning it can cure the noise as long as the bearings are still sound.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
When to call us in Battersea
Fans everywhere, Battersea included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A worn or slipping fan belt
If you manage a school such as Christ Church CofE Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Questions to ask before booking
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
What your team can do, and what needs us
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

FAQs for Battersea
Which environmental health team covers Battersea?
Food hygiene inspections in Battersea are carried out by Wandsworth council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
What do you need to know about parking in Battersea?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
What happens to the waste?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.
Will the kitchen have to stop cooking while you work?
While we’re working on the fan, the extract is isolated. Evening, overnight and weekend visits keep disruption down so you don’t lose trade.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
Repair is always our starting point. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer, and we’ll explain why.
What happens on the day
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Before any visit in Battersea, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- 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.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
Advice
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
When a fan fails in Battersea
There are about 660 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 142 takeaways in and around Battersea, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. London extract fans are often at the end of long duct runs, on roofs or in basements. Food hygiene inspections in Battersea are the job of Wandsworth council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Clapham Welsh Presbyterian Church or elsewhere in Battersea, can seize between uses. If you run a café or takeaway near Clapham Junction station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.
