Extract fan repair and replacement for Picket Piece, with a survey first and a report with photos at the end. Call for a fixed quote.
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
The process
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Getting to the system matters more than parking in a place like Picket Piece, so let us know how to reach it.
- 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.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Clear the space around the work
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Extract fan repair in Picket Piece
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. If you’re dealing with a failed fan that needs a replacement and a whining or grinding extract motor, we can help.
In a smaller place like Picket Piece, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. Our 24/7 emergency line is there for exactly that.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Do you need extract fan repair in Picket Piece?
Kitchen extract fans in Picket Piece face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Look out for any of the following:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
For school kitchens, at schools like Pilgrims' Cross CofE Aided Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Picket Piece questions
Is Picket Piece within the area you cover?
Yes. Picket Piece is within the area we cover across London and the South East. A survey first, from photos or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Do you work overnight in Picket Piece?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Picket Piece does not have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and pictures.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Bigger sites can be done in stages to keep things running.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
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.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Every visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and give you a fixed quote.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it helps at the next visit:
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
