Greater London · Extract fan repair and replacement
Extract Fan Repair in Sudbury
Extract fan repair in Sudbury from ventilation hygiene specialists trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A dead fan motor
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan that keeps cutting out
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Extract fan repair in Sudbury
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan motors and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a belt-driven fan that squeals.
In London, a kitchen without working extraction cannot keep cooking safely. In Sudbury, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so access is the first thing we ask about.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Clean or change filters on schedule
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Why it’s worth doing now in Sudbury
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you’re busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and why the quote is fixed before we start.
What you get with us
- Each visit written up, with pictures
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Accredited under CHAS and SafeContractor, with ISO 9001
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.

What else we do in Sudbury
What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Extract fan repair in Sudbury: local notes
Food Standards Agency data counts about 157 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 130 takeaways across Sudbury and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange. It’s Brent council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Sudbury. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
For school kitchens, at schools like Sudbury Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. If you cook near Sudbury & Harrow Road station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Andrew or elsewhere in Sudbury, can seize between uses.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Sudbury
Can parking be tricky for a job in Sudbury?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Sudbury makes the visit easier to plan. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Can you come to Sudbury after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
How long will the fan be out of action?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We will give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
What should go in our maintenance log?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them together and easy to find.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to TR19® as the benchmark, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults and we find the exact cause on site.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Sudbury
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What we need to know
To help us quote quickly, please include:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
How it works
There are three stages on the day: getting the area ready, doing the work and signing it off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Sudbury is usually out of hours.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area
