Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Woodlands
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, 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 worn or slipping fan belt and a humming noise from the fan motor, across kitchen extract fans, belts and pulleys and fan motors.
Replacing a fan in a London building often means working at height or in a tight plant space, and in Woodlands, parking and lifting are part of that. Work can be done after service, so the kitchen loses as little time as possible.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.

What else we do in Woodlands
Why deal with it now?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Woodlands questions
Can the work in Woodlands be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Woodlands?
Extract fan emergencies in Woodlands are covered around the clock. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
What types of premises do you cover?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Typically, a fan repair takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Where parts need ordering, we will explain the timescale.
Extract fan repair around Woodlands
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 259 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 98 takeaways and sandwich shops in Woodlands and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. 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 Woodlands are the job of Hounslow council’s environmental health team. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Woodlands, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. For a takeaway near Isleworth station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Spring Grove Primary School, rather than mid-term.

How we price extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Parking and loading at the site
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How big the system is
You won’t find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. For a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
The more you tell us, the more accurate the quote. With your enquiry, please include:
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Looking after it afterwards
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Report new noises from the fan early
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
How the visit works
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Woodlands is no exception.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before work begins.
