Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Ham
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt, while a fan that will not start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. If you’re dealing with a dead fan motor and a fan shaking on its mountings, we can put it right, from fan motors, roof and wall fans and bearings onwards.
Replacing a fan in a London building often means working at height or in a tight plant space, with parking and lifting to arrange in Ham. Work can be done after service, so the kitchen loses as little time as possible.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When a fan fails in Ham
Food Standards Agency records list about 146 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 21 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Ham. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange. In Ham, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Richmond-Upon-Thames council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you manage a school such as Meadlands Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Ham is no exception.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Move anything stored near the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- 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
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll give you a straight answer.
What we work on in Ham
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
Do you need extract fan repair in Ham?
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that will not start is not always a dead motor.
Clients normally contact us after spotting something like this:
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Ham Christian Centre, or anywhere in Ham, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Why act early in Ham
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. A booked night’s work in Ham costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
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 make a difference.
Why us?
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
- In business since 2009
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Photo reports with every job
Take a look at what affects the cost and our accreditations and certificates.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The condition we find in the survey
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- A few general shots of the system
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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, and that is where we come in.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Ham questions
Can parking be tricky for a job in Ham?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Ham?
That is Richmond-Upon-Thames council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Ham. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
What if our extract fan fails during service?
We provide a 24/7 emergency callout. Until the fan is running, think carefully about cooking without extraction so we’ll work to get it back in service.
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.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
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.
Aftercare tips
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
