Extract fan repair in Ealing
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before work begins. The work covers fan housings, fan motors and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
In London, a kitchen without working extraction can’t keep cooking safely. Fans in Ealing are often on a roof or in a basement at the end of a long duct run, so we ask about access first.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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 pictures.
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. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
What affects the quote in Ealing
You will get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The scale of the work
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
For extract fan repair in Ealing, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
The process
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and we clear up before we go. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Ealing is typically out of hours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Move anything stored near the system
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You’ll normally have a quote within one working day.

Why it’s worth doing now in Ealing
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will talk you through it.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.

Questions from Ealing
How do you handle parking and loading in Ealing?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Ealing makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Do you work overnight in Ealing?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Ealing does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Who is the responsible person?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Are you accredited?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Extract fans in Ealing
Food Standards Agency records list about 424 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 90 takeaways and sandwich shops in Ealing 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. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning. Food hygiene inspections in Ealing are the job of Ealing council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you manage a school such as Ealing Independent College and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. Hall kitchens near St Saviour's Church, or anywhere around Ealing, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Common problems we fix in Ealing
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 starts to vibrate and rattle.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan rattling in its housing
If you cook near Ealing Broadway station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.
