Extract fan repair and replacement in Notting Hill, Greater London

Part by part
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor isn’t always to blame.
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.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Notting Hill
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. The work covers fan motors, fan housings and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan that has stopped working and a humming noise from the fan motor.
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 is noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, 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.

Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Honest limits
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Notting Hill
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We consider:
- How big the system is
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Any permits to work or inductions
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- The site address and the type of premises
- A few general shots of the system
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that is running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Extract fans in Notting Hill
Food Standards Agency records list about 1,288 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 167 takeaways and sandwich shops in Notting Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning. It’s Kensington and Chelsea council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Notting Hill. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St John's Notting Hill or elsewhere in Notting Hill, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. If you run a kitchen close to Shepherds Bush station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Notting Hill
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A dead fan motor
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like St Clement and St James CofE Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Questions from Notting Hill
Does London parking affect a job in Notting Hill?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Notting Hill?
Notting Hill is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before work begins, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before any work starts.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We can’t price it without knowing the fault. After we’ve checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What’s TR19?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
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 job takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Expect the work in Notting Hill to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
