Extract fan repair and replacement in Peckham, Greater London
Repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts for Peckham, with a survey first and a report with pictures at the end. Call for a fixed quote.
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
What happens if it’s left?
Wherever the kitchen is, Peckham included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before it becomes a nuisance. In Peckham, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you’ll get one fixed quote.

Extract fan repair in Peckham, done properly
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we’ve found before any work goes ahead. The work covers bearings, fan housings and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are a squealing belt on start-up and a fan that won’t start at all.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan normally means the cooking stops. Fans in Peckham are often on a roof or in a basement at the end of a long duct run, so we ask about access first.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

How it works
Each visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, 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. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Peckham.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
Get a fixed quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before any work starts.

Peckham: your questions answered
Do you work at weekends in Peckham?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Which council inspects kitchens in Peckham?
Kitchens in Peckham are inspected by Southwark council’s environmental health officers. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We’ll point out grease where we find it and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Which records should we keep?
Visit reports, certificates and your in-house cleaning logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because sites vary so much. The quote depends on:
- The number of sites or systems
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What extract fan repair looks like in Peckham
Food Standards Agency records list about 447 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 344 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Peckham. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Kitchens in Peckham get their food hygiene inspections from Southwark council. 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. 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 Queens Road Peckham station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near All Saints Church or elsewhere in Peckham, can seize between uses. For school kitchens, at schools like John Donne Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: diagnosis, a fixed price, work booked around your hours and a written report with pictures.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
How the job changes from site to site
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself since the motor is not always to blame.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
