How we handle extract fan repair in Perivale
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that is what we will recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. If you have an extract fan that has stopped working and an overheating extract motor, we can put it right.
London extract fans often sit on rooftops, exposed to the weather as well as the grease, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. A fan that is noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

Extract fan repair in Perivale: local notes
Look up Perivale on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 174 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 120 takeaways and sandwich shops in Perivale 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. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange. Kitchens in Perivale get their food hygiene inspections from Ealing council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
For a takeaway near South Greenford station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7. If you manage a school such as St John Fisher Catholic Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

When something else is needed
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll say what we think before you book.
What the work covers
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
What else we do in Perivale
Why act early in Perivale
Left alone, vibration spreads its damage. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. It’s better booked as a planned job in Perivale than handled as an emergency.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Why Perivale businesses choose us
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

- Every job surveyed first

What we are called out for in Perivale
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A dead fan motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
Hall kitchens near St. Mary with St. Nicholas - Perivale, or anywhere around Perivale, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
Comparing quotes
- What insurance they carry
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning doesn’t replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Perivale
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The number of sites or systems
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos.
How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. All told, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Expect the work in Perivale to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- 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.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
Getting a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Common questions in Perivale
Can you come to Perivale after we close?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Perivale keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who inspects food businesses in Perivale?
That is Ealing council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Perivale. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. We diagnose before we treat: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work and we will talk you through what’s involved.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. We suggest:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Clean or change filters on schedule
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job rather than an emergency during service.
