Extract fan repair in Hampton Wick

Across Hampton Wick, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. Common call-outs are for a fan that won’t start at all and a worn or slipping fan belt, across kitchen extract fans, bearings and belts and pulleys.

London extract fans often sit on rooftops, exposed to the weather as well as the grease, and in time, bearings, belts and motors fail. A fan that is noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.

Think of the report as the system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Extract fans in Hampton Wick

Look up Hampton Wick on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 222 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 64 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Hampton Wick. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. It’s Kingston-Upon-Thames council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Hampton Wick. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. A failed fan in a London kitchen typically means a closed kitchen, so access details help us plan the repair.

If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Hampton Wick, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as St John the Baptist Church of England Junior School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Hampton Wick

Not every problem is mechanical. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.

Keep an eye out for any of the following:

  • An extract fan that rattles or knocks
  • A failed fan that needs a replacement
  • Poor airflow at the canopy
  • A fan that won’t start at all

If you run a café or takeaway near Hampton Wick station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.

Choosing a duct cleaning contractor

Staff cleaning versus specialist work

Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.

Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.

What affects the quote in Hampton Wick

Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:

  • How many systems or sites are involved
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • How big the system is
  • Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule

Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

What to send for a quote

Before you ask for a quote, gather:

  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet
  • Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
  • The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
  • The postcode and the type of business

Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, a few pictures and any previous report or certificate. Then call 0345 646 2711, or email photos.

What happens on the day

Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Hampton Wick.

  1. We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
  2. The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
  3. Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
  4. You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
  5. We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.

Preparing for the visit

  • Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
  • Clear loose items from the work area
  • Let us know about permits to work or site inductions

Getting a quote

The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

Looking after it afterwards

Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:

  • Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
  • Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
  • Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
  • Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails

Grease on the fan normally means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.

A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.

When something else is needed

Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we will tell you before work begins. It doesn’t solve:

  • Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
  • Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
  • Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve

If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What the work covers

  • Fan housings
  • Kitchen extract fans
  • Belts and pulleys
  • Fan motors
  • Bearings
  • Roof and wall fans

Hampton Wick: your questions answered

Is parking a problem for work in Hampton Wick?

London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.

Do you work at weekends in Hampton Wick?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Hampton Wick does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Do you offer emergency callouts?

Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.

Will I get paperwork for my records?

Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.

Do we need to close while you work?

Normally not. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.

Where does the waste go?

We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it does not spread.

Is TR19 a legal requirement?

No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
