Extract fan repair in Green Street
Grease and fans don’t mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. If you have an overheating extract motor and a fan that won’t start at all, we can put it right, from roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and fan motors onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Green Street, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Green Street: your questions answered
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Green Street?
Day or night, a failed fan in Green Street can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Do you work overnight in Green Street?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Green Street can fit around your hours. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan normally means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
It can be one of a few things, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes, when repair does not make sense. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote so there are no surprises.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
How we price extract fan repair
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- How big the system is
- Parking and loading at the site
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Part by part
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Green Street
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so records stay tidy.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
When something else is needed
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer.

What else we do in Green Street
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. In a small place like Green Street, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
