- A dead fan motor
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Report new noises from the fan early
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
Extract fan repair in Bowes Park
The extract fan is what pulls smoke, heat and steam out of the kitchen. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. The work covers kitchen extract fans, bearings and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are a motor that trips out or overheats and a fan that won’t start at all.
In London, getting a new fan to the roof or plant room can take planning, and in Bowes Park, parking and lifting are part of that. Repairs can be done out of hours so the kitchen keeps trading.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with pictures, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s ready for an insurer, fire officer or EHO.

What else we do in Bowes Park
What extract fan repair can’t fix
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
If in doubt, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will say what we think before booking.
What the work covers
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Fan housings

For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare in Bowes Park and across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
What extract fan repair looks like in Bowes Park
There are about 357 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 126 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Bowes Park, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. 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. It’s Haringey council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Bowes Park. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
For kitchens close to Alexandra Palace station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Mary's Greek Orthodox Church or elsewhere in Bowes Park, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Bowes Park
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- The number of sites or systems
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- The scale of the work
- How easy every part is to reach
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
What to send for a quote:
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
To get a fixed quote, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. We typically come back within one working day.
Bowes Park questions
Which environmental health team covers Bowes Park?
In Bowes Park, it’s Haringey council that carries out food hygiene inspections. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
How do you handle parking and loading in Bowes Park?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan typically means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. After diagnosing, you get a fixed quote before any work starts.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extract systems and TR19® Air for general ventilation. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition and the report sets out why.
Do we need to close the kitchen for fan work?
Yes, the extract has to be off while we work. Evening, overnight and weekend visits keep disruption down so you don’t lose trade.
How it works
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the photos you sent. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Bowes Park is usually out of hours.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
Ask for a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.
Advice
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 don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: 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, which is where we come in.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Bowes Park
Kitchen extract fans in Bowes Park face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Most sites get in touch when they notice one of these:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
For school kitchens, at schools like Trinity Primary Academy for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they carry
- Whether VAT is included
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
