Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Heron Quays
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that’s what we will recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. Typical jobs include weak extraction and a smoky kitchen and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, on kitchen extract fans, bearings and fan housings.
In London, getting a new fan to the roof or plant room can take planning, with parking and lifting to arrange in Heron Quays. Repairs can be done out of hours so the kitchen keeps trading.
We have been trading since 2009, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we are fully insured.

What staff can safely do
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Aftercare tips
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
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.
A fan that’s starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
Part by part
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover

What extract fan repair looks like in Heron Quays
There are about 512 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 163 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Heron Quays, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Food hygiene inspections in Heron Quays are the job of Tower Hamlets council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Peter's Church, or anywhere in Heron Quays, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Seven Mills Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. If you run a kitchen close to Canary Wharf station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.

Advice
Why act early in Heron Quays
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Heron Quays gets to the real cause. A booked night’s work in Heron Quays costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before work begins.
