Extract fan repair in Connaught Village, done properly
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. 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. We’re often asked to deal with a fan shaking on its mountings and a dead fan motor, on bearings, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
In London, getting a new fan to the roof or plant room can take planning, with parking and lifting to arrange in Connaught Village. Repairs can be done out of hours so the kitchen keeps trading.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Connaught Village and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
How we price extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
Asking for a quote
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Connaught Village is typically out of hours.
- 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.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that does not address the problem, so here are the limits:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think.

When a fan fails in Connaught Village
Food Standards Agency data counts about 3,027 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 262 sandwich bars and takeaways in Connaught Village and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Kitchens in Connaught Village get their food hygiene inspections from Westminster council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. A failed fan in a London kitchen usually means a closed kitchen, so access details help us plan the repair.
If you run a kitchen close to London Paddington station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush. For school kitchens, at schools like Hampden Gurney CofE Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. Hall kitchens near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere around Connaught Village, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
Questions from Connaught Village
Which environmental health team covers Connaught Village?
In Connaught Village, it’s Westminster council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Does London parking affect a job in Connaught Village?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Connaught Village makes the visit easier to plan. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Do we need to close the kitchen for fan work?
Yes, the extract has to be off while we work. Evening, overnight and weekend visits keep disruption down so service carries on as normal.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that’s one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
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 before any work starts.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. If repair isn’t sensible, we replace the fan. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.
How much notice should we give?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
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, which is where we come in.
