FAQs for East End Green
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in East End Green?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and East End Green is part of our area. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Do you work overnight in East End Green?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. It means the site in East End Green keeps running as normal. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
Typically, a fan repair takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Where parts need ordering, we will explain the timescale.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work, and we will explain the options.
How do you protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What we do, step by step
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 we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. If the van will struggle with a lane or gateway near East End Green, let us know and we will plan around it.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.

Leave it or put it right?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. With notice, the visit to East End Green can be fitted around your bookings and events.
We do not list prices on the website, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
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.
What extract fan repair looks like in East End Green
Kitchens in East End Green get their food hygiene inspections from East Hertfordshire council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month. East End Green is about 19 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St John's Church or elsewhere in East End Green, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. If you manage a school such as Hertingfordbury Cowper Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that is the cause, we will say so and explain what we found.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning will not help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
