Extract fan repair in Horn Park, done properly
Across Horn Park, 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 worn beyond sensible repair and a fan that whines, hums or grinds, across fan motors, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans.
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.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What your team can do, and what needs us
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Why it’s worth doing now in Horn Park
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you are busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
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’ll go through it with you.

Read what affects the cost or our accreditations and certificates.
Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself since the motor isn’t always to blame.
FAQs for Horn Park
Can the work in Horn Park be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you are closed and we’ll book within them.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Horn Park?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on use and what we found.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
Extract fan repair around Horn Park
Look up Horn Park on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 168 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 94 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Horn Park. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange. In Horn Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Greenwich council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
For school kitchens, at schools like Horn Park Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Saviour or elsewhere in Horn Park, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

How the visit works
Protection comes first: floors, worktops and anything near the work are covered. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and we clear up before we go. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Horn Park is usually out of hours.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
Signs you need extract fan repair in Horn Park
Fans everywhere, Horn Park included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you run a café or takeaway near Lee station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the quote shows VAT
How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
Helping us quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, some problems need a different fix:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
