Extract fan repair in Roundshaw, done properly
Grease and fans do not mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. If you’re dealing with an extract fan that has stopped working and poor airflow at the canopy, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and fan housings onwards.
Replacing a fan in a London building often means working at height or in a tight plant space, and in Roundshaw, parking and lifting are part of that. Work can be done after service, so the kitchen loses as little time as possible.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Extract fans in Roundshaw
Look up Roundshaw on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 136 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 91 sandwich bars and takeaways in Roundshaw and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. In Roundshaw, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Sutton council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority. London extract fans are often at the end of long duct runs, on roofs or in basements.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Wallington Primary Academy, fix a failing fan before term starts. If you run a café or takeaway near Wallington station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too in Roundshaw and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
How we price extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. We look at:
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Where the site is and how we reach it
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, pictures of the system and any previous report or certificate. Then give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
Why act early in Roundshaw
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. A booked night’s work in Roundshaw costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before we start.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. In a London area like Roundshaw, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.

Common questions in Roundshaw
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Roundshaw?
Kitchens in Roundshaw are inspected by Sutton council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Roundshaw out of hours?
Day or night, a failed fan in Roundshaw can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so the site can carry on as normal.
What about areas you can’t get to?
We record them on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, for example new access panels.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
That depends on what we find. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired, then send you a fixed quote.
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. That is our job.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When to call us in Roundshaw
In Roundshaw, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Paul's or elsewhere in Roundshaw, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
Questions to ask before you book
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- When the next visit should be, and why
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
- How areas they can’t reach will be recorded
