About our extract fan repair in Chiswick
Working on a fan in Chiswick means switching the extract off first, 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. If you have a worn or slipping fan belt and a whining or grinding extract motor, we can help.
Rooftop fans in London take the weather as well as the grease from below, and in time, bearings, belts and motors fail. A fan that is noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
Every 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.

What happens if it’s left?
Wherever the kitchen is, Chiswick included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. A busy site in Chiswick builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos for straight advice and a fixed quote.

When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
How we price extract fan repair
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
For a fixed quote, call 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 pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We usually come back within one working day.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Chiswick is typically out of hours.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Looking after it afterwards
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Extract fan repair around Chiswick
Food Standards Agency records list about 538 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 124 takeaways in Chiswick and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Food hygiene inspections in Chiswick are the job of Hounslow council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority. A failed fan in a London kitchen usually means a closed kitchen, so access details help us plan the repair.
For kitchens close to Chiswick station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. Hall kitchens near St. Nicholas Church, or anywhere around Chiswick, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Chiswick
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Chiswick?
That’s Hounslow council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Chiswick. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Chiswick?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites in our area, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. File it with your fire safety records.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We cannot price it without knowing the fault. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for whichever option you choose.
Do you cover Chiswick?
Yes. Chiswick is part of the area we cover, as part of our area across London and the South East.
What we’re called out for in Chiswick
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- An overheating extract motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A whining or grinding extract motor
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like The William Hogarth Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
