Extract fan repair in Leyton Grange, done properly
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you have a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a fan shaking on its mountings, we can put it right.
London extract fans often sit on rooftops, exposed to the weather as well as the grease, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. A fan that’s noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Keeping the system healthy
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Never run the extract with filters missing
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs as long as the bearings are still sound.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.

How we price extract fan repair
We do not publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- How big the system is
- The condition we find in the survey
- How easy every part is to reach
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Quotes are quick. Send a few details and pictures, and we typically reply with a fixed quote within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
FAQs for Leyton Grange
What do you need to know about parking in Leyton Grange?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Leyton Grange out of hours?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Leyton Grange is within the area we cover. 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 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.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Noise typically comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different and we find the exact cause on site.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Leyton Grange is typically done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Clear the space around the work

What happens if it’s left?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. A booked night’s work in Leyton Grange costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Leyton Grange
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
For school kitchens, at schools like Riverley Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
What your quote should include

What extract fan repair can’t fix
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
