Do you need extract fan repair in Hayes?
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan shaking on its mountings
If you run a kitchen close to Hayes & Harlington station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.

Extract fan repair in Hayes, done properly
Kitchens in Hayes call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. The work covers bearings, belts and pulleys and fan motors, and people most often call us about an extract fan that has stopped working and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan normally means the cooking stops, and a closed kitchen loses a night’s trade. In Hayes, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so access is the first thing we ask about.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Hayes: your questions answered
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Hayes?
Extract fan emergencies in Hayes are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Can the work in Hayes be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Hayes needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes pictures, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. The work is kept contained and leave the area clean.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Hayes
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Hayes and across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
What we do, step by step
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with pictures. The middle part takes longest, and that takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Expect the work in Hayes to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Find the previous report, if there is one
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.

What happens if it’s left?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Hayes gets to the real cause. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
You will not find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
Why book with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line

What affects the quote in Hayes
You’ll get a fixed price before any work starts. It takes into account:
- How big the system is
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Whether several sites go on one quote
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’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- 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
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
Here’s what helps us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Extract fan repair in Hayes: local notes
There are about 170 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 83 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Hayes, up to about a mile and a half out, 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. Food hygiene inspections in Hayes are the job of Hillingdon council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Hayes, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
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 outside your busiest hours.
Noise is typically the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
What extract fan repair can’t fix
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
