About our extract fan repair in Earlsfield
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Earlsfield, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan motors and bearings, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a belt-driven fan that squeals.
In London, getting a new fan to the roof or plant room can take planning, with parking and lifting to arrange in Earlsfield. Repairs can be done out of hours so the kitchen keeps trading.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Your quote is based on your site. We take into account:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The number of sites or systems
- The scale of the work
- Parking and loading at the site
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us 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. You’ll usually have a quote within one working day.
The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. In a London area like Earlsfield, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- 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.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before any work starts.

What we’re called out for in Earlsfield
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
If you manage a school such as Beatrix Potter Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
What your quote should include
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- What’s included in the scope, part by part
- Whether a survey comes first

Managing agents and facilities teams in Earlsfield
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Earlsfield and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
What extract fan repair looks like in Earlsfield
Look up Earlsfield on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 554 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 88 takeaways across Earlsfield and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. It’s Wandsworth council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Earlsfield. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange.
If you run a café or takeaway near Earlsfield station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St John the Divine or elsewhere in Earlsfield, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Common questions in Earlsfield
Do you cover Earlsfield for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Earlsfield are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Do you work at weekends in Earlsfield?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Who is the responsible person?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults, and we diagnose it on site.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
