Extract fan repair in Hurlingham
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. If you have an old fan that needs replacing and a humming noise from the fan motor, we can help, from roof and wall fans, bearings and kitchen extract fans onwards.
In London, getting a new fan to the roof or plant room can take planning, with parking and lifting to arrange in Hurlingham. Work can be done after service, so the kitchen loses as little time as possible.
We have been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

How it works
We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. In a London area like Hurlingham, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Hurlingham questions
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Hurlingham?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Hurlingham is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Which environmental health team covers Hurlingham?
That’s Hammersmith and Fulham council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Hurlingham. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before work begins.
Are you accredited?
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 TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself isn’t law; it’s a BESA specification. The legal duty comes from the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005: the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.

What extract fan repair looks like in Hurlingham
Food Standards Agency data counts about 597 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 104 takeaways and sandwich shops in Hurlingham and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Environmental health officers from Hammersmith and Fulham council inspect food businesses in Hurlingham. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Sulivan Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts. For kitchens close to Imperial Wharf station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Dionis or elsewhere in Hurlingham, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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, next to our reports.
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.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
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 at a time that suits your service.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
Why deal with it now?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. It loosens fixings, strains duct connections and wears the housing and the eventual repair is larger. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before we start.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Sometimes a clean is all it needs as long as the bearings are still sound.
How we price extract fan repair
Some jobs are bigger than they look, and some smaller. The main factors:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- How easy every part is to reach
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The postcode and the type of business
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before work begins.
