Extract fan repair in North Hyde, done properly
Grease and fans do not mix. 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 a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys, and common reasons people get in touch are vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
Rooftop fans in London take the weather as well as the grease from below, and in time, bearings, belts and motors fail. A fan that’s noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Questions from North Hyde
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in North Hyde out of hours?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and North Hyde is within the area we cover. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Do you work at weekends in North Hyde?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in North Hyde doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs so the first step is a diagnosis.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance, which is a common cause of noise. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Expect the work in North Hyde to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- 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.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
Getting a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Extract fans in North Hyde
Food Standards Agency data counts about 228 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 91 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around North Hyde, up to about a mile and a half out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Environmental health officers from Hounslow council inspect food businesses in North Hyde. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. A failed fan in a London kitchen usually means a closed kitchen, so access details help us plan the repair.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Leonard's Church or elsewhere in North Hyde, can seize between uses. School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Norwood Green Infant and Nursery School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Around North Hyde
Around North Hyde, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Minet Country Park, The Plough Public House and Featherstone High School. The nearest railway station is Southall station, roughly 1 mile north of the centre. Other landmarks nearby include Museum of Army Music (2.9 miles south-east) and St Bernard's Hospital (1.6 miles north-east). For a walk, there’s Long Wood and Garden Lake.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
Noise is normally the first sign of a fan problem. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that is the cause, we will say so and explain what we found.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Why deal with it now?
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.
