Extract fan repair in Broadfields Estate
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. The work covers fan motors, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about poor airflow at the canopy and a fan shaking on its mountings.
London extract fans often sit on rooftops, exposed to the weather as well as the grease, and in time, bearings, belts and motors fail. A fan that is noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What we are called out for in Broadfields Estate
Fans everywhere, Broadfields Estate included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A humming noise from the fan motor
If you manage a school such as Rosh Pinah Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. Belts are checked for wear, tension and alignment and renew them where necessary.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that is running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. For a site in Broadfields Estate, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
The process
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Before any visit in Broadfields Estate, we agree where the van can stop and how equipment reaches the system.
- 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.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
Ask for a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.

Questions from Broadfields Estate
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Broadfields Estate?
Kitchens in Broadfields Estate are inspected by Barnet council’s environmental health officers. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Can the work in Broadfields Estate be done at night or at weekends?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before work begins.
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.
What about areas you can’t get to?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we tell you what would make it reachable, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Extract fan repair in Broadfields Estate: local notes
Look up Broadfields Estate on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 79 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 32 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Broadfields Estate. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning. In Broadfields Estate, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Barnet council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Andrew or elsewhere in Broadfields Estate, can seize between uses.
