Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Eastfields
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. If you have a motor that trips out or overheats and an old fan that needs replacing, we can put it right.
In London, a kitchen without working extraction can’t keep cooking safely, and a closed kitchen loses a night’s trade. Fans in Eastfields 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: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What extract fan repair looks like in Eastfields
There are about 194 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 93 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Eastfields, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Lifting a replacement fan onto a London roof can need a loading slot and the building’s agreement. Environmental health officers from Merton council inspect food businesses in Eastfields. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you run a kitchen close to Mitcham Eastfields station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as St Mark's Church of England Academy or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St. Mark's Church, or anywhere in Eastfields, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Eastfields is no exception.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
Getting a quote
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.

How we price extract fan repair
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- The number of sites or systems
- Parking and loading at the site
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The scale of the work
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
What to send for a quote:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Getting a quote does not take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Eastfields and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Eastfields: your questions answered
Can you work in Eastfields outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Eastfields needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you cover Eastfields for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Eastfields are covered around the clock. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
What about areas you cannot get to?
We never leave them off the paperwork. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Part by part
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We will tell you if that is what we find so you know who to call.
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and cause vibration.
When something else is needed
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer.
