Extract fan repair in Gordon Hill
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. Typical jobs include an extract fan that has stopped working and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, on belts and pulleys, bearings and roof and wall fans.
London extract fans often sit on rooftops, exposed to the weather as well as the grease, and in time, bearings, belts and motors fail. A fan that’s noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured. We are also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

How the visit works
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. All told, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. If your building in Gordon Hill has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

Advice
Gordon Hill questions
Can you come to Gordon Hill after we close?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. The work in Gordon Hill can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Gordon Hill?
In Gordon Hill, it’s Enfield council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
The ductwork is a separate job. We will point out grease where we find it and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, and we can quote to improve the access.
Is Gordon Hill in your area?
Yes. Our area takes in London and the counties of South East England, Gordon Hill included.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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 photos.
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’re happy to quote for all of it.
What extract fan repair looks like in Gordon Hill
Food Standards Agency records list about 87 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 39 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Gordon Hill. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange. Environmental health officers from Enfield council inspect food businesses in Gordon Hill. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Michael & All Angels, or anywhere in Gordon Hill, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as St Michael's CofE Primary School, rather than mid-term.

What else we do in Gordon Hill
What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Why deal with it now?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before we start.

Do you need extract fan repair in Gordon Hill?
In Gordon Hill, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
These are the problems we see most often:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan rattling in its housing
If you run a café or takeaway near Gordon Hill station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.
