- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
Extract fan repair in Beckton, done properly
Grease and fans don’t mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. Typical jobs include a whining or grinding extract motor and a belt-driven fan that squeals, on belts and pulleys, fan motors and bearings.
In London, getting a new fan to the roof or plant room can take planning, and in Beckton, parking and lifting are part of that. Repairs can be done out of hours so the kitchen keeps trading.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Honest limits
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. 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 a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Beckton.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Get a fixed quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Beckton: your questions answered
How do you handle parking and loading in Beckton?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Beckton, and about any building rules on loading. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Beckton?
Day or night, a failed fan in Beckton can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Each sounds a little different and we find the exact cause on site.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
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 cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Extract fans in Beckton
There are about 121 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 65 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Beckton, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. In Beckton, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Newham council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. 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.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Michael and All Angels Church or elsewhere in Beckton, can seize between uses. If you manage a school such as Gallions Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Why deal with it now?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. A booked night’s work in Beckton costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
