Extract fan repair in Farringdon, done properly
Across Farringdon, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. If you’re dealing with a knocking noise from the extract fan and a squealing belt on start-up, we can put it right.
Somewhere as small as Farringdon, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
What a clean will not put right
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
How we price extract fan repair
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The condition of the system
- The size of the system
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
For a fixed quote, call 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 photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding typically come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault and then recommend the fix.
Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
Do you need extract fan repair in Farringdon?
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An overheating extract motor
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Farringdon, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered

Farringdon questions
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Farringdon out of hours?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Farringdon is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you cover smaller places like Farringdon?
Yes, Farringdon is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. A few photos of the system help us make the most of a visit to a place like Farringdon.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- 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.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
