What we’re called out for in Tulse Hill
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.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An overheating extract motor
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An old fan that needs replacing
If you run a kitchen close to Tulse Hill station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.

Extract fan repair in Tulse Hill
Grease is hard on extract fans. A coated impeller spins unevenly, which shakes the bearings and mountings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. If you have an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a motor that trips out or overheats, we can put it right.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan usually means the cooking stops. Fans in Tulse Hill are often on a roof or in a basement at the end of a long duct run, so access is the first thing we ask about.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Multi-site and managed buildings
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so each one has its own record.
Extract fan repair in Tulse Hill: local notes
Look up Tulse Hill on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 315 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 145 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Tulse Hill. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange. Food hygiene inspections in Tulse Hill are the job of Lambeth council’s environmental health team. 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.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as St Martin-In-The-Fields High School for Girls, rather than mid-term. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church, or anywhere in Tulse Hill, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

What a clean won’t put right
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve

Your questions about extract fan repair in Tulse Hill
Which council inspects kitchens in Tulse Hill?
Food hygiene inspections in Tulse Hill are carried out by Lambeth council. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Tulse Hill?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Tulse Hill is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will arrange a diagnosis.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates, which is a common cause of noise. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We do. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into, and you get a fixed quote first.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
What happens to the waste?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
How we price extract fan repair
You will get a fixed price before work begins. It’s based on:
- The number of sites or systems
- The condition of the system
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool before work begins, and floors and nearby surfaces are sheeted. The work itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. In Tulse Hill, as across London, we usually work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- 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.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
Ask for a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Send a few details and photos, and we usually reply with a fixed quote within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
