Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Yeading
Grease and fans do not mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. If you have an extract fan that has stopped working and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen, we can help, from fan housings, fan motors and belts and pulleys onwards.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan normally means the cooking stops. In Yeading, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so access is the first thing we ask about.
Each visit ends with a written report and pictures, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
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.
Common questions in Yeading
Do you work at weekends in Yeading?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The work in Yeading can fit around your hours. When you call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email, mention when the site is quiet.
Do you cover Yeading for emergency fan repairs?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Yeading is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work, and we will explain the options.
How much time does a fan repair need?
That depends on what’s wrong, but most jobs take a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. We will give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
That depends on what we find. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired, then send you a fixed quote.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
In the words of the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How easy every part is to reach
The cost depends on how big the system is, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before we start, so you know where you stand.
Helping us quote
What to send for a quote:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
If you need extract fan repair in Yeading, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, plus pictures or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote normally follows within one working day.
Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll say what we think before booking.

What else we do in Yeading
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. With shared responsibility, good records help everyone.
When a fan fails in Yeading
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 128 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 64 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Yeading. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. London extract fans are often at the end of long duct runs, on roofs or in basements. In Yeading, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Ealing council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you manage a school such as Brookside Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Joseph the Worker & Dovetail Centre or elsewhere in Yeading, can seize between uses.
