Extract fan repair in Haverstock
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. Typical jobs include a whining or grinding extract motor and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, on bearings, fan motors and belts and pulleys.
In London, a kitchen without working extraction can’t keep cooking safely, and a closed kitchen loses a night’s trade. In Haverstock, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so we ask about access first.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

The process
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Haverstock.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one

Common questions in Haverstock
Can parking be tricky for a job in Haverstock?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Haverstock?
Haverstock is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
How long will the fan be out of action?
A typical repair takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement including running the fan afterwards. We plan the work around your service wherever we can.
What is TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
Often, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts, and we will always say when repair makes sense.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You will hear what we found and what we did, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Haverstock
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we will explain what it covers.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, please include:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
For extract fan repair in Haverstock, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.
What the work covers

When a fan fails in Haverstock
There are about 749 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 325 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Haverstock, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. A failed fan in a London kitchen typically means a closed kitchen, so access details help us plan the repair. It’s Camden council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Haverstock. 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.
For school kitchens, at schools like Fine Arts College for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. If you run a kitchen close to South Hampstead station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mary the Virgin, or anywhere in Haverstock, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Other local landmarks include St Paul's Church of England Primary School (under half a mile south) and The Washington pub (under half a mile north). The closest station to Haverstock is South Hampstead station, roughly 0.7 miles west of the centre.

Leave it or put it right?
A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.

Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes, so we ask about it early.
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
