Extract fan repair in Bushey Mead, done properly
Grease and fans don’t mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. We are often asked to deal with a failed fan that needs a replacement and a humming noise from the fan motor, across fan motors, fan housings and roof and wall fans.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan normally means the cooking stops. Fans in Bushey Mead are often on a roof or in a basement at the end of a long duct run, so we ask about access first.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Multi-site and managed buildings
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
Common problems we fix in Bushey Mead
Kitchen extract fans in Bushey Mead face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- An overheating extract motor
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Dundonald Church or elsewhere in Bushey Mead, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Extract fan repair in Bushey Mead: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 313 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 55 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bushey Mead. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Kitchens in Bushey Mead get their food hygiene inspections from Merton council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. 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.
If you cook near Raynes Park station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early. For school kitchens, at schools like Joseph Hood Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Questions from Bushey Mead
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Bushey Mead?
Day or night, a failed fan in Bushey Mead can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Bushey Mead?
In Bushey Mead, it’s Merton council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
How much time does a fan repair need?
A typical repair takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed including running the fan afterwards. We plan the work around your service wherever we can.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We can’t price it without knowing the fault. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. In a London area like Bushey Mead, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Part by part
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that’s the cause, we will say so and explain what we found.

Why deal with it now?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before we start.
Why us?
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Full insurance on every job
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- In business since 2009

What your team can do, and what needs us
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
