About our extract fan repair in Coombe
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Coombe, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. The work covers fan motors, belts and pulleys and fan housings, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that won’t start at all and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
Rooftop fans in London take the weather as well as the grease from below, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. A fan that’s noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Why it’s worth doing now in Coombe
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Planning ahead in Coombe lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You will have a fixed price before we start.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Coombe
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How many systems or sites are involved
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll normally have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.

The process
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Coombe is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- 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.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Advice
Do you need extract fan repair in Coombe?
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan shaking on its mountings
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Coombe Hill Junior School, rather than mid-term.
What to look for in a quote
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether they recommend a next date
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
What extract fan repair looks like in Coombe
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 132 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 40 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Coombe, up to about a mile and a half out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. London extract fans are often at the end of long duct runs, on roofs or in basements. Kitchens in Coombe get their food hygiene inspections from Kingston-Upon-Thames 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.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Christ Church New Malden or elsewhere in Coombe, can seize between uses.

Coombe: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Coombe?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Coombe keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Who inspects food businesses in Coombe?
In Coombe, it’s Kingston-Upon-Thames 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.
Do you cover Coombe?
Yes. We cover Coombe and across Greater London, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
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.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What about areas you cannot get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
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 TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
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.

Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor is not always to blame.
