How we handle extract fan repair in Seven Kings
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we’ll say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. The work covers kitchen extract fans, fan housings and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are poor airflow at the canopy and an extract fan that has stopped working.
In London, getting a new fan to the roof or plant room can take planning, and in Seven Kings, parking and lifting are part of that. Work can be done after service, so the kitchen loses as little time as possible.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

When a fan fails in Seven Kings
Look up Seven Kings on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 236 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 179 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Seven Kings. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange. Food hygiene inspections in Seven Kings are the job of Redbridge council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Downshall Primary School, rather than mid-term. For kitchens close to Seven Kings station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. Hall kitchens near St John the Evangelist, or anywhere around Seven Kings, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

What else we do in Seven Kings
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Seven Kings and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The size of the system
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, which can make the next visit longer. If you’re unsure, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
We can often survey from photos. The most useful are:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Looking after it afterwards
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Report new noises from the fan early
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Why us?
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- We are fully insured
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Take a look at what affects the cost or how to check a contractor.
Part by part
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We will tell you if that is what we find and explain what we found.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Most London sites can’t stop for the day, so work in Seven Kings is normally done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Before we arrive
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Clear the space around the work
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before work begins.

Common questions in Seven Kings
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Seven Kings?
Seven Kings is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you work at weekends in Seven Kings?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Seven Kings can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
Often, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
What happens to the waste?
We take it away when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
