Extractor fan repair in Ivybridge
For repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts in Ivybridge, one call is all it takes, from survey to sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Common problems we fix in Ivybridge
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that’s a common source of rattles.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- An overheating extract motor
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- An extract fan that has stopped working
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Chase Bridge Primary School, rather than mid-term.

About our extract fan repair in Ivybridge
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that will not start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. If you have an extract fan that rattles or knocks and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, we can put it right.
Replacing a fan in a London building often means working at height or in a tight plant space, and in Ivybridge, parking and lifting are part of that. Work can be done after service, so the kitchen loses as little time as possible.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

When a fan fails in Ivybridge
Food Standards Agency data counts about 319 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 101 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Ivybridge. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Lifting a replacement fan onto a London roof can need a loading slot and the building’s agreement. Environmental health officers from Hounslow council inspect food businesses in Ivybridge. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
For a takeaway near Twickenham station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

Part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself since the motor is not always to blame.
Aftercare tips
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. For a job in Ivybridge, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- 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.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

FAQs for Ivybridge
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Ivybridge out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in Ivybridge are covered around the clock. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Who inspects food businesses in Ivybridge?
Food hygiene inspections in Ivybridge are carried out by Hounslow council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and we will quote them together.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
