Extract fan repair and replacement in Temple Bar, Greater London

- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A squealing belt on start-up
Part by part
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that is the cause, we will say so and explain what we found.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it, and we’ll explain why.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Temple Bar
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you have a whining or grinding extract motor and a dead fan motor, we can put it right, from roof and wall fans, fan motors and fan housings onwards.
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.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What we do, step by step
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Temple Bar is typically out of hours.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Temple Bar
We quote each job individually. This is what makes a difference:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
- The size of the system
- A single visit or a regular plan
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you are unsure, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form for straight advice and a fixed quote.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- The postcode and the type of business
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
If you need extract fan repair in Temple Bar, phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
What extract fan repair cannot fix
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.

Temple Bar: your questions answered
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Temple Bar?
That is the City of London Corporation, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Temple Bar. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you work at weekends in Temple Bar?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Temple Bar can fit around your hours. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
In many cases, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts and we only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, and we can fit those.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before we start.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we have been trading since 2009.
Keeping the system healthy
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. Our advice:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
When to call us in Temple Bar
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
If you run a kitchen close to City Thameslink station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.
Before you book anyone
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What records you’ll receive afterwards
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
