- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
What happens on the day
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Crews Hill saves time on the night.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
About our extract fan repair in Crews Hill
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. The work covers belts and pulleys, roof and wall fans and fan housings, and people most often call us about an overheating extract motor and an old fan that needs replacing.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan typically means the cooking stops. Fans in Crews Hill are often on a roof or in a basement at the end of a long duct run, so we ask about access first.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal, ready for your insurer.

Multi-site and managed buildings
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building around the people who use them.

What else we do in Crews Hill
Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is, Crews Hill included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before neighbours notice. For a site in Crews Hill, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What you get with us
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Trading since 2009
- A written report with photos after each visit

Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
If you are not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys

How we price extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. What affects the quote:
- The number of sites or systems
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- Site rules, permits and inductions
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Problems your staff have spotted
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. We normally come back within one working day.
What extract fan repair looks like in Crews Hill
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 11 restaurants, cafés and works canteens within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Crews Hill. 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. It’s Enfield council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Crews Hill. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
If you run a café or takeaway near Crews Hill station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St John the Baptist or elsewhere in Crews Hill, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like St John's CofE Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We can diagnose it and quote.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Common questions in Crews Hill
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Crews Hill?
Extract fan emergencies in Crews Hill are covered around the clock. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Which council inspects kitchens in Crews Hill?
The local authority for Crews Hill is Enfield council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What if parts of the system can’t be reached?
They’re marked on the report. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, and we can fit those.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Before we leave, the fan is run and checked. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
