- A fan that won’t start at all
Extract fan repair in Canons Park, done properly
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. If you’re dealing with a fan shaking on its mountings and a fan rattling in its housing, we can put it right.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan usually means the cooking stops. In Canons Park, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so access is the first thing we ask about.
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.

Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early rather than waiting for it to fail.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.

What else we do in Canons Park
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in Canons Park.
- 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 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
How to get a quote
Getting a quote doesn’t take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll usually have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
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.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Extract fan repair around Canons Park
Food Standards Agency data counts about 184 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 77 takeaways in Canons Park 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 Canons Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Harrow council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Lawrence or elsewhere in Canons Park, can seize between uses.

Do you need extract fan repair in Canons Park?
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building and that’s a common source of rattles.
Most sites get in touch when they notice something like this:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A motor that trips out or overheats
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Camrose Primary With Nursery, fix a failing fan before term starts.

How we price extract fan repair
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- How easy every part is to reach
- The size of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- A few general shots of the system
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
To help us quote: the address, the type of site and when it’s open, photos of the system and the last certificate or report, if there is one. Then call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you a straight answer.

Canons Park questions
Can you come to Canons Park after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Canons Park needn’t be disturbed. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we’ll book within them.
Do you cover Canons Park for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Canons Park are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification, with two parts that matter most here: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
We can. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan typically means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. Each visit ends with a written report and photos, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them together and easy to find.
