Common questions in East Sheen
Can you come to East Sheen after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in East Sheen out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in East Sheen can be reported on our emergency line. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs so the first step is a diagnosis.
How we handle extract fan repair in East Sheen
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. The work covers fan housings, fan motors and kitchen extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a fan shaking on its mountings.
Rooftop fans in London take the weather as well as the grease from below, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. Noise and vibration are worth reporting before the fan stops.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

The process
We turn up at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. On site, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. If your building in East Sheen has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Getting a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.

Signs you need extract fan repair in East Sheen
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that is a common source of rattles.
Look out for any of the following:
- A dead fan motor
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A whining or grinding extract motor
If you run a kitchen close to Mortlake station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.
What your quote should include
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether they’re fully insured
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a written report and photos are included
When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
Extract fan repair around East Sheen
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 258 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 22 takeaways and sandwich shops in East Sheen and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Kitchens in East Sheen get their food hygiene inspections from Richmond-Upon-Thames council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. A failed fan in a London kitchen typically means a closed kitchen, so access details help us plan the repair.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints' Church or elsewhere in East Sheen, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. If you manage a school such as Thomson House School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
East Sheen is about 3 miles west of Fulham, in Greater London. Anywhere in SW14, we can carry out extract fan repair at your premises. 764 places in Greater London are on our list, large and small. London is in our area too, about 8 miles from East Sheen.
Our technicians cover all of SW14, SW13 and SW15 for extract fan repair and the streets around it. Whether your site is on Elm Road, Well Lane and Fife Road or anywhere close by, we can help.

Local landmarks in East Sheen

Well-known places in the area include Ubuntu Museum: African Museum of Humanity (1.1 miles south-east) and Barnes Hospital (0.5 miles east). Green spaces nearby include Duke's Hollow and Kew Gardens Lake.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, and that’s where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Managing agents and facilities teams in East Sheen
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with photos.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.

What else we do in East Sheen
Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
