Extract fan repair in Hammersmith, done properly
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. Common call-outs are for a belt-driven fan that squeals and an overheating extract motor, across fan housings, roof and wall fans and bearings.
In London, getting a new fan to the roof or plant room can take planning, with parking and lifting to arrange in Hammersmith. Work can be done after service, so the kitchen loses as little time as possible.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What extract fan repair looks like in Hammersmith
Look up Hammersmith on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 954 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 166 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Hammersmith. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Kitchens in Hammersmith get their food hygiene inspections from Hammersmith and Fulham council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. Lifting a replacement fan onto a London roof can need a loading slot and the building’s agreement.
For kitchens close to Kensington Olympia station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Corona Theatre School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Innocents or elsewhere in Hammersmith, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Hammersmith: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Hammersmith?
The local authority for Hammersmith is Hammersmith and Fulham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Do you cover Hammersmith for emergency fan repairs?
Day or night, a failed fan in Hammersmith can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. Quotes normally come back within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, for example new access panels.
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.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
What happens on the day
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. After that, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. In a London area like Hammersmith, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- 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.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand

Managing agents and facilities teams in Hammersmith
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller can’t simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.

How we price extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before we start. It takes into account:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The scale of the work
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we’ll talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Why deal with it now?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you’re busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. A busy site in Hammersmith builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
