Glebe Farm questions
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Glebe Farm?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Glebe Farm is part of our area. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Will you come out to Glebe Farm?
Yes. Glebe Farm is within the area we cover across London and the South East. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not typically. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so you keep your normal hours.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll point out grease where we find it and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Repair is always our starting point. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we will tell you the reasons.
Where does the waste go?
It’s contained and taken away. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go rather than letting it spread.
Are you insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
Extract fan repair in Glebe Farm, done properly
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Glebe Farm, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. If you are dealing with a fan that won’t start at all and an old fan that needs replacing, we can help.
A callout to a place like Glebe Farm is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, so pictures of the fan and its rating plate help.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Glebe Farm
Signs you need extract fan repair in Glebe Farm

- An overheating extract motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A squealing belt on start-up
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts

Managing agents and facilities teams in Glebe Farm
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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.
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Around Glebe Farm, access is typically simpler than in a town centre, though gates and roof access are worth mentioning.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

Part by part
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. We’ll tell you if that is what we find so you know who to call.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.
Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
