Extract fan repair in Feltham, done properly
Across Feltham, 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 the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan motors and kitchen extract fans, and people most often call us about a squealing belt on start-up and a fan that keeps cutting out.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan normally means the cooking stops, and a closed kitchen loses a night’s trade. Fans in Feltham are often on a roof or in a basement at the end of a long duct run, so access is the first thing we ask about.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- The condition of the system
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- The postcode and the type of business
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
To help us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
What happens on the day
The first job on site is protection: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and we clear up before we go. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Feltham is typically done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Why it’s worth doing now in Feltham
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. A building in Feltham may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Trading since 2009
- Every job surveyed first
- Full insurance on every job
Extract fans in Feltham
There are about 82 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 52 takeaways and sandwich shops in Feltham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. A failed fan in a London kitchen usually means a closed kitchen, so access details help us plan the repair. In Feltham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hounslow council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Christ Church or elsewhere in Feltham, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. For a takeaway near Feltham station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.
Feltham is about 6 miles south-west of Ealing, in Greater London.

Across Greater London, we cover 764 places, and Feltham is one of them. There’s also a page for London, about 14 miles away.
Postcode districts we cover here for extract fan repair: TW14 and TW13. Extract fan repair is available to premises on High Street, Railway Terrace and Sandycombe Road and nearby roads. You’ll find Feltham on the A244 and B377, so it’s easy for us to get to for out-of-hours visits.

Local landmarks in Feltham
We work in commercial kitchens and buildings around Hounslow Heath, Moon On The Square pub and Rivers Academy West London, among other places. Feltham has its own railway station: Feltham station. A little further out are Hounslow Hospital (2.3 miles north-east) and Kempton Steam Museum (1.6 miles south). Not far away are Richmond Hill and Pevensey Road Nature Reserve.
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You’ll hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
Questions from Feltham
Which environmental health team covers Feltham?
The local authority for Feltham is Hounslow council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Is parking a problem for work in Feltham?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Feltham, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Is Feltham in your area?
Yes. Our technicians work in Feltham, as part of our area across London and the South East.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from pictures and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site in our area, with visits on a regular schedule.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
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.
Do you need extract fan repair in Feltham?
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that’s a common source of rattles.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan that keeps cutting out
For school kitchens, at schools like St Lawrence Catholic Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If they look at the system before pricing
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether they’re fully insured
