Part by part
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.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Extract fan repair in Broadwater Farm, done properly
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 with a repair or a replacement. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan motors and belts and pulleys, and common reasons people get in touch are an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a whining or grinding extract motor.
In London, getting a new fan to the roof or plant room can take planning, and in Broadwater Farm, parking and lifting are part of that. Repairs can be done out of hours so the kitchen keeps trading.
Each visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Broadwater Farm
Do you cover Broadwater Farm for emergency fan repairs?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Broadwater Farm is part of our area. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Broadwater Farm?
Kitchens in Broadwater Farm are inspected by Haringey council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We will tell you what we see, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. If repair is not sensible, we replace the fan. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs before recommending a unit.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You’ll know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, particularly if your next visit is nearly due. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.

Why it’s worth doing now in Broadwater Farm
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. A booked night’s work in Broadwater Farm costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before work begins.

Do you need extract fan repair in Broadwater Farm?
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and the noise follows.
Look out for any of the following:
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
For kitchens close to Bruce Grove station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7.
What your quote should include
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether they’re fully insured
- What paperwork you get at the end
Extract fan repair around Broadwater Farm
There are about 393 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 164 takeaways across Broadwater Farm and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half), according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning. Environmental health officers from Haringey council inspect food businesses in Broadwater Farm. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as The Willow Primary School, rather than mid-term. Hall kitchens near St Philip the Apostle, or anywhere around Broadwater Farm, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
