Extract fan repair in Silvertown
If an extract fan in Silvertown is struggling or has stopped, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. The work covers bearings, roof and wall fans and fan motors, and people most often call us about an old fan that needs replacing and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
Replacing a fan in a London building often means working at height or in a tight plant space, and in Silvertown, parking and lifting are part of that. Repairs can be done out of hours so the kitchen keeps trading.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What happens if it’s left?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you are busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job, so we ask about it early.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself, because a fan that will not start is not always a failed motor.
What staff can safely do
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
How it works
Every visit runs to the same pattern: protect the area, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, clear away and leave you the report. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Silvertown saves time on the night.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Common questions in Silvertown
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Silvertown at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Silvertown can be reported on our emergency line. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Silvertown?
Kitchens in Silvertown are inspected by Newham council’s environmental health officers. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
How much notice should we give?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes usually come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work, and we will explain the options.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites on one programme. Every site has its own report.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Silvertown
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Aftercare tips
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
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.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
Extract fans in Silvertown
There are about 269 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 108 takeaways across Silvertown and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Environmental health officers from Newham council inspect food businesses in Silvertown. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. Lifting a replacement fan onto a London roof can need a loading slot and the building’s agreement.
Hall kitchens near St Barnabas' Church, or anywhere around Silvertown, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. If you cook near Custom House station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Britannia Village Primary School, rather than mid-term.
