Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that is where we come in.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Edgware Bury
Grease and fans do not mix. A coated impeller spins unevenly and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. So when we repair extract fan, we look at the grease too, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. If you are dealing with a fan worn beyond sensible repair and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, we can help, from fan motors, fan housings and bearings onwards.
Rooftop fans in London take the weather as well as the grease from below, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. A fan that’s noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

What extract fan repair looks like in Edgware Bury
Look up Edgware Bury on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 38 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 20 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Edgware Bury, up to about a mile and a half out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. It’s Hertsmere council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Edgware Bury. 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. Lifting a replacement fan onto a London roof can need a loading slot and the building’s agreement.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Andrew or elsewhere in Edgware Bury, can seize between uses. For school kitchens, at schools like Broadfields Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Questions from Edgware Bury
Which environmental health team covers Edgware Bury?
Food hygiene inspections in Edgware Bury are carried out by Hertsmere council. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Edgware Bury?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Edgware Bury is part of our area. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
It depends on the fault. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Booking the work out of hours means the site can carry on as normal. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits so parts stay in use.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Often it makes sense to do both. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan, with a certificate and photo report.
How far ahead should we book?
For planned work, earlier is better, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. Emergencies are different, because our line is open 24/7.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
How we price extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Whether several sites go on one quote
- The times the site is available
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from photos and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- A few general shots of the system
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We can quote either party, and the report can go to both.
Leave it or put it right?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. It’s better booked as a planned job in Edgware Bury than handled as an emergency.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before we start.
Why book with us
- We diagnose before we treat
- Photo reports with every job
- We’re fully insured
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos

What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. We’ll tell you if that’s what we find so you know who to call.
When something else is needed
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’ll tell you before we start. It will not put right:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. It takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, and we clear up before we go. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Edgware Bury saves time on the night.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Let us know about parking and loading
Ask for a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: wide shots of the system, close-ups of anything that worries you and how we’d get to it. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and many jobs can be priced from that alone.
