About our extract fan repair in Elm Park
Across Elm Park, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. If you have a motor that trips out or overheats and poor airflow at the canopy, 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.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

Aftercare tips
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

What else we do in Elm Park
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Elm Park.
- 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.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
Get a fixed quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, either from pictures and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

When to call us in Elm Park
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Clients usually contact us when they notice something like this:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
Hall kitchens near St Nicholas Church, or anywhere around Elm Park, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
What your quote should include
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- How VAT is shown on the quote
What the work involves, part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job, so we ask about it early.
Fan controls
Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
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, which is where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Extract fan repair in Elm Park: local notes
There are about 124 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 45 takeaways and sandwich shops in Elm Park and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. London extract fans are often at the end of long duct runs, on roofs or in basements. In Elm Park, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Havering council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Elm Park Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Leave it or put it right?
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. Catching it early keeps the repair small. It’s better booked as a planned job in Elm Park than handled as an emergency.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. We take each of them into account and give you a fixed price before we start.

Elm Park: your questions answered
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Elm Park out of hours?
Elm Park is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Elm Park?
Food hygiene inspections in Elm Park are carried out by Havering council. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, filed in the maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Doing both together is often sensible. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurers ask for proof of cleaning to it. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005 in England and Wales.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
