FAQs for Colliers Wood
Can you come to Colliers Wood after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Colliers Wood needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Colliers Wood?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Colliers Wood is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Which sectors do you work in?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
In many cases, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
What about areas you can’t get to?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
How we handle extract fan repair in Colliers Wood
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new 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 we start. The work covers belts and pulleys, bearings and kitchen extract fans, and people most often call us about a fan that whines, hums or grinds and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork.
In London, getting a new fan to the roof or plant room can take planning, and in Colliers Wood, parking and lifting are part of that. Work can be done after service, so the kitchen loses as little time as possible.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Planning ahead in Colliers Wood lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. Someone lets us in at the agreed time and shows us where everything is, and the rest is down to us. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. For a job in Colliers Wood, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Ask for a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send pictures: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Add the site type and your opening hours, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis, because a fan that will not start isn’t always a failed motor.
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Colliers Wood
Fans everywhere, Colliers Wood included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A worn or slipping fan belt
If you run a kitchen close to Tooting station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush.
Before booking anyone
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- What hours they’ll be on site
- When the next visit should be, and why
When something else is needed
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- 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 are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Between visits

- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach

- Write down when the fan misbehaves
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
