Greater London · Extract fan repair and replacement
Extractor fan repair in Botany Bay
Extract fan repair for Botany Bay, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus a 24/7 emergency line.
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An overheating extract motor
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
Extract fan repair in Botany Bay
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. If you have a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a fan rattling in its housing, we can help, from kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and fan housings onwards.
In London, getting a new fan to the roof or plant room can take planning, and in Botany Bay, parking and lifting are part of that. Repairs can be done out of hours so the kitchen keeps trading.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

What happens if it’s left?
Wherever the kitchen is, Botany Bay included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before work begins.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something 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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
What affects the quote in Botany Bay
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.

Botany Bay: your questions answered
Does London parking affect a job in Botany Bay?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Botany Bay, and about any building rules on loading. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Do you cover Botany Bay for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Botany Bay are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We typically quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Who is the responsible person?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you are not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and make it shake.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor is not always to blame.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. If your building in Botany Bay has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
