Extract Fan Repair in Coombe Hill
We cover Coombe Hill for repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with photos on every job.
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A dead fan motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
When it’s something else
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.
What the work covers
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
Extract fan repair in Coombe Hill, done properly
Kitchens in Coombe Hill call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. The work covers bearings, belts and pulleys and fan motors, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan typically means the cooking stops, and a closed kitchen loses a night’s trade. In Coombe Hill, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so access is the first thing we ask about.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. 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.

When a fan fails in Coombe Hill
Food Standards Agency data counts about 20 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Coombe Hill. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In Coombe Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Kingston-Upon-Thames council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. Lifting a replacement fan onto a London roof can need a loading slot and the building’s agreement.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St John the Baptist, or anywhere in Coombe Hill, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

How it works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. In a London area like Coombe Hill, 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.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

What else we do in Coombe Hill
What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Coombe Hill questions
Do you cover Coombe Hill for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Coombe Hill are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Coombe Hill?
Kitchens in Coombe Hill are inspected by Kingston-Upon-Thames council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Photos often do the job, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we’ll explain the options.
Aftercare tips
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
When to call us in Coombe Hill
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that is a common source of rattles.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Robin Hood Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Why deal with it now?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. 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. The price is fixed before any work starts.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
