Extract Fan Repair in The Hyde
Extract fan repair for The Hyde, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
Extract fan repair in The Hyde
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. Common call-outs are for a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a squealing belt on start-up, across belts and pulleys, fan housings and roof and wall fans.
London extract fans often sit on rooftops, exposed to the weather as well as the grease, and in time, bearings, belts and motors fail. A fan that is noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
What affects the quote in The Hyde
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
When you contact us, these details help:
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Your last certificate, test record or report

When something else is needed
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll say what we think before booking.
What we work on in The Hyde
- Fan housings
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You’ll hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. If your building in The Hyde has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
How to get a quote
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you will usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Common questions in The Hyde
What do you need to know about parking in The Hyde?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Can the work in The Hyde be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in The Hyde doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
The law calls them the responsible person. That is generally the employer or the person in control of the premises, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
What do you do to protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
When to call us in The Hyde
Fan bearings do not last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Matthias the Apostle church or elsewhere in The Hyde, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
Before booking anyone
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether VAT is included
- Whether the figure could change on the day

What extract fan repair looks like in The Hyde
Food Standards Agency records list about 178 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 120 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central The Hyde. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. It’s Brent council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in The Hyde. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. London extract fans are often at the end of long duct runs, on roofs or in basements.
If you run a kitchen close to Hendon station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as The Hyde School, rather than mid-term.
