Common questions in Great Lea Common
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Great Lea Common at night?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Great Lea Common is part of our area. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Can you work in Great Lea Common outside opening hours?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. Your customers, staff or residents in Great Lea Common needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where needed. Then you get a fixed quote.
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 law behind it is the Fire Safety Order 2005 in England and Wales.
How do you protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
What do you do with what you remove?
We take it away at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. In a small place like Great Lea Common, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
Get a fixed quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that isn’t enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before we start.
Advice
How we price extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. The quote depends on:
- The condition of the system
- How easy every part is to reach
- How big the system is
- How many systems or sites are involved
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.
Asking for a quote
There’s no need for technical detail. It helps if you can send:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it

What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, some problems need a different fix:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
Do you need extract fan repair in Great Lea Common?
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- An overheating extract motor
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Paul's Church or elsewhere in Great Lea Common, can seize between uses.

In-house cleaning or 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.
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
