Extract fan repair in Lampton, done properly
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. We’re often asked to deal with an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and an extract fan that has stopped working, across belts and pulleys, bearings and fan housings.
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 Lampton. 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. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Lampton
What do you need to know about parking in Lampton?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Lampton, and about any building rules on loading. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Lampton?
Lampton is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote so there are no surprises.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise typically comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults, and we diagnose it on site.
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’ll always say when repair makes sense.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Extract fans in Lampton
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 256 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 118 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Lampton. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. A failed fan in a London kitchen typically means a closed kitchen, so access details help us plan the repair. Environmental health officers from Hounslow council inspect food businesses in Lampton. 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.
If you run a café or takeaway near Hounslow station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. For school kitchens, at schools like Alexandra Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. Hall kitchens near St Luke, or anywhere around Lampton, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Why act early in Lampton
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. Every hour of strain takes its toll, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. It’s better booked as a planned job in Lampton than handled as an emergency.

How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan’s rattle can be heard outside. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we’re in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. For a job in Lampton, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- 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.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us where we can park and unload
