How we price extract fan repair
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- How big the system is
- Any permits to work or inductions
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.
Helping us quote
When you contact us, these details help:
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
How we handle extract fan repair in Stratford
Kitchens in Stratford call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers bearings, fan housings and belts and pulleys, and the jobs we see most are a knocking noise from the extract fan and a motor that trips out or overheats.
Rooftop fans in London take the weather as well as the grease from below, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. A fan that’s noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Common problems we fix in Stratford
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
What we’re most often called out for:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan that won’t start at all
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
For kitchens close to Stratford (London) station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

How the job changes from site to site
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
FAQs for Stratford
Can parking be tricky for a job in Stratford?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Stratford makes the visit easier to plan. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Can you work in Stratford outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Stratford can fit around your hours. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can you come out in an emergency?
Yes, any time. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Noise normally comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
What your team can do, and what needs us
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What happens on the day
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. The visit takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. In a London area like Stratford, parking, loading and building access are planned before the day of the work.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.

When something else is needed
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before any work starts. It doesn’t solve:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
Not sure which it is? You can call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

What extract fan repair looks like in Stratford
Look up Stratford on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 496 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 273 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Stratford. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Food hygiene inspections in Stratford are the job of Newham council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St John the Evangelist, or anywhere in Stratford, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Why act early in Stratford
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. A building in Stratford may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
