How we handle extract fan repair in Temple
Across Temple, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. The work covers bearings, fan motors and belts and pulleys, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a fan rattling in its housing.
London extract fans often sit on rooftops, exposed to the weather as well as the grease, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. Noise and vibration are worth reporting before the fan stops.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Honest limits
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will say what we think.

Why it’s worth doing now in Temple
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. In Temple, as across London, ductwork often passes through shared risers and other people’s space.
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Once we’re done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
The process
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. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. In Temple, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
Advice
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Temple
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Parking and loading at the site
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- A few general shots of the system
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any previous report or certificate
Here’s what helps us quote: where the site is, what it is and its opening hours, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Once you have those, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
What we’re called out for in Temple
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble, and if they’re left they can seize.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A dead fan motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
If you manage a school such as St Clement Danes CofE Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Proof of insurance
How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault and then recommend the fix.
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.
Temple: your questions answered
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Temple at night?
Day or night, a failed fan in Temple can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
How do you handle parking and loading in Temple?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Temple, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
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.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Are you insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
When a fan fails in Temple
Look up Temple on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 3,889 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 848 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Temple. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. London extract fans are often at the end of long duct runs, on roofs or in basements. Environmental health officers from the City of London Corporation inspect food businesses in Temple. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you run a kitchen close to London Blackfriars station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Temple Church or elsewhere in Temple, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
