About our extract fan repair in Mountain Street
Wherever your kitchen is in Mountain Street, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. If you’re dealing with an extract fan that has stopped working and a fan shaking on its mountings, we can put it right.
For a fan repair in or near Mountain Street, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
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, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.
What we are called out for in Mountain Street
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Mountain Street or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A dead fan motor
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Mountain Street, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
Questions to ask before you book
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- What insurance they carry
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- When the next visit should be, and why
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
If in doubt, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think.

FAQs for Mountain Street
Do you work in villages like Mountain Street?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Mountain Street included. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Mountain Street out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in Mountain Street are covered around the clock. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic, then send you a fixed quote.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before work begins.
How long will the fan be out of action?
A typical repair takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, including testing. We’ll fit it around the kitchen’s hours where possible.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.

What else we do in Mountain Street
How it works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Rural roads and tight entrances are worth telling us about before a visit to Mountain Street.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know about parking and loading
