How we handle extract fan repair in Parsons Green
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan housings and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about a fan that won’t start at all and a squealing belt on start-up.
Replacing a fan in a London building often means working at height or in a tight plant space, and in Parsons Green, parking and lifting are part of that. Work can be done after service, so the kitchen loses as little time as possible.
A written report with photos follows every visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When something else is needed
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so here are the limits:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Managing agents and facilities teams in Parsons Green
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Every building has its own written report, so each one has its own record.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What we are called out for in Parsons Green
Fans everywhere, Parsons Green included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Dionis or elsewhere in Parsons Green, can seize between uses.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether VAT is included
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, next to our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Parsons Green: your questions answered
Which environmental health team covers Parsons Green?
The local authority for Parsons Green is Hammersmith and Fulham council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Parsons Green at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Parsons Green is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
What will a fan repair or replacement 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.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a small pub to a hospital. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Where does the waste go?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Parsons Green is typically out of hours.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Before we arrive
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Advice
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
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.
Part by part
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease deposits unbalance it and make it shake.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Extract fan repair in Parsons Green: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 806 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 131 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Parsons Green, up to about a mile and a half out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. In Parsons Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Hammersmith and Fulham council. 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. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange.
For kitchens close to Imperial Wharf station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Lady Margaret School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
