Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Kentish Town
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. We are often asked to deal with a fan rattling in its housing and a whining or grinding extract motor, across roof and wall fans, bearings and belts and pulleys.
Replacing a fan in a London building often means working at height or in a tight plant space, with parking and lifting to arrange in Kentish Town. Work can be done after service, so the kitchen loses as little time as possible.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the job takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Kentish Town.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Common questions in Kentish Town
What do you need to know about parking in Kentish Town?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
Can you work in Kentish Town outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Kentish Town can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and leave the area clean.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. Our emergency line runs 24/7 for anything that cannot wait until a planned visit. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.

Extract fan repair in Kentish Town: local notes
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 756 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 337 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Kentish Town. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Kitchens in Kentish Town get their food hygiene inspections from Camden council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. 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.
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Holy Trinity and Saint Silas CofE Primary School or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term. If you cook near Kentish Town West station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.

What a clean won’t put right
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch

Signs you need extract fan repair in Kentish Town
Fans everywhere, Kentish Town 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.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A dead fan motor
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Trinity with St Barnabas or elsewhere in Kentish Town, can seize between uses.

Why act early in Kentish Town
Wherever the kitchen is, Kentish Town included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before work begins.
What you get with us
- Fully insured
- A written report with pictures after every visit
- A BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
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 at a time that suits your service.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
