Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Fulham
Working on a fan in Fulham means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. The work covers fan motors, fan housings and belts and pulleys, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan that has stopped working and a fan worn beyond sensible repair.
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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why act early in Fulham
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before any work starts.

Extract fan repair in Fulham: local notes
There are about 845 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 128 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Fulham, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Lifting a replacement fan onto a London roof can need a loading slot and the building’s agreement. In Fulham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hammersmith and Fulham council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you cook near West Brompton station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St. Peter's Church or elsewhere in Fulham, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as St Johns Walham Green Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term.
Fulham is about 2 miles south of Kensington, in Greater London. Wherever you are in the SW6 postcode area, we can take on extract fan repair. Fulham is one of 764 towns, villages and districts in Greater London where we work for extract fan repair.
We work across the SW6, W6 and W14 postcode area for extract fan repair and the streets around it. That includes premises on Lampeter Square, Fulham High Street and Hurlingham Square and nearby roads. You’ll find Fulham on the A219 and A304, so it’s easy for us to get to for extract fan repair. We also cover West Kensington (1 mile north), North End (1 mile north), Putney (1 mile south-west), Brook Green (1 mile north-west) and Hammersmith (2 miles north-west).

The closest station to Fulham is West Brompton station, roughly 0.8 miles north-east of the centre.

Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and the quieter it runs.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
How it works
The visit has three parts: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Fulham saves time on the night.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
If your staff spot something 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 the job changes from site to site
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it, and we’ll explain why.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and renew them where necessary.

What else we do in Fulham
Fulham: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Fulham?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. It means the site in Fulham keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Which environmental health team covers Fulham?
That’s Hammersmith and Fulham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Fulham. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise usually comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll say what we think.
