Extract Fan Repair in Loughborough Junction
Extract fan repair for Loughborough Junction and the surrounding area: a survey, a fixed price, careful work and proper paperwork. Call for a fixed quote.
- A dead fan motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A whining or grinding extract motor
Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
Extract fan repair in Loughborough Junction
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. Common call-outs are for a humming noise from the fan motor and a squealing belt on start-up, across belts and pulleys, fan housings and fan motors.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan typically means the cooking stops. In Loughborough Junction, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so we ask about access first.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Common questions in Loughborough Junction
Do you work at weekends in Loughborough Junction?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Loughborough Junction?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Loughborough Junction is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Normally not. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Parts of the system we cover
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
What we do, step by step
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Loughborough Junction needs from us.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.

What else we do in Loughborough Junction
What we’re called out for in Loughborough Junction
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as St Saviour's Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- What hours they’ll be on site
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What insurance they carry
Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
For anyone managing more than one site, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Extract fan repair in Loughborough Junction: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 630 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 326 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Loughborough Junction. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning. Kitchens in Loughborough Junction get their food hygiene inspections from Lambeth council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you run a kitchen close to Loughborough Junction station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Matthew's Camberwell or elsewhere in Loughborough Junction, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Cleaning it can cure the noise, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding typically come from the bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself and then recommend the fix.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The size of the system
- The number of sites or systems
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
What we need to know
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
