Advice
How we handle extract fan repair in Collier Row
Across Collier Row, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. If you are dealing with a failed fan that needs a replacement and a fan shaking on its mountings, we can put it right.
London extract fans often sit on rooftops, exposed to the weather as well as the grease, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. Noise and vibration are worth reporting before the fan stops.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. That is why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Why act early in Collier Row
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Common problems we fix in Collier Row
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and starts to vibrate and rattle.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Rise Park Infant School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

Collier Row: your questions answered
Which council inspects kitchens in Collier Row?
In Collier Row, it’s Havering council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Can you work in Collier Row outside opening hours?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Collier Row needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Each report and certificate we give you, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Are you accredited?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We have been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What does TR19 mean?
A BESA specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t law, but it’s the benchmark.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. We check the duct size and the extract the kitchen needs so we confirm that first.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That’s our job.
Between visits
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. You will hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- A single visit or a regular plan
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Any permits to work or inductions
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
Helping us quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The site address and the type of premises
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
