Extract fan repair and replacement in Hounslow West, Greater London
We cover Hounslow West for extract fan repair and replacement. Fixed quotes, work around your opening hours and photo reports on every job.
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An old fan that needs replacing
Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job and we plan around it.
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
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 the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Questions from Hounslow West
Is parking a problem for work in Hounslow West?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Can you come to Hounslow West after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Hounslow West keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Often, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts and we only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What happens to the waste?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Do you work in Hounslow West?
Yes. We work in Hounslow West and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us.
How we price extract fan repair
The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- A single visit or a regular plan
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Hounslow West.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.
