Extract Fan Repair in Gillette Corner

- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
How we handle extract fan repair in Gillette Corner
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 motors, roof and wall fans and bearings, and people most often call us about an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a motor that trips out or overheats.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan usually means the cooking stops, and a closed kitchen loses a night’s trade. In Gillette Corner, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so access is the first thing we ask about.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and 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
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job, so we ask about it early.
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
When something else is needed
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.

How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Gillette Corner needs from us.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive

- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Related advice
What staff can safely do
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 will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
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.

FAQs for Gillette Corner
What do you need to know about parking in Gillette Corner?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Gillette Corner, and about any building rules on loading. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Can the work in Gillette Corner be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Gillette Corner needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we will explain the options.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
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 law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Gillette Corner
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- How many systems or sites are involved

Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site

What extract fan repair looks like in Gillette Corner
Food Standards Agency records list about 180 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 54 takeaways across Gillette Corner and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. London extract fans are often at the end of long duct runs, on roofs or in basements. Food hygiene inspections in Gillette Corner are the job of Hounslow council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Marlborough Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts. If you cook near Syon Lane 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 Mary's Church or elsewhere in Gillette Corner, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
