How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- The scale of the work
- A single visit or a regular plan
No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
Asking for a quote
You do not need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
For extract fan repair in Turnham Green, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Extract fan repair in Turnham Green, done properly
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. Typical jobs include a fan rattling in its housing and an extract fan that has stopped working, on fan motors, fan housings and roof and wall fans.
In London, getting a new fan to the roof or plant room can take planning, and in Turnham Green, parking and lifting are part of that. Repairs can be done out of hours so the kitchen keeps trading.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Extract fan repair in Turnham Green: local notes
There are about 428 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 81 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Turnham Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. A failed fan in a London kitchen normally means a closed kitchen, so access details help us plan the repair. Environmental health officers from Hounslow council inspect food businesses in Turnham Green. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St. Nicholas Church or elsewhere in Turnham Green, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as The William Hogarth Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Between visits
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit at a time that suits your service.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings so early attention pays.

Turnham Green: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Turnham Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Turnham Green are carried out by Hounslow council. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Do you cover Turnham Green for emergency fan repairs?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Turnham Green is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan normally means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
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.
How it works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Turnham Green needs from us.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- 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
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Clear the space around the work
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
What we are called out for in Turnham Green
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. Worn bearings whine, rumble or grind and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Common reasons sites call us include:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A fan that won’t start at all
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that keeps cutting out
If you cook near Chiswick station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.
Comparing quotes

- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- When the next visit should be, and why
Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. When they fail, the fan may not start or may run at the wrong speed.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
