About our extract fan repair in Havering-atte-Bower
Wherever your kitchen is in Havering-atte-Bower, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. Typical jobs include a fan rattling in its housing and an extract fan that has stopped working, on fan housings, bearings and fan motors.
A callout to a small place like Havering-atte-Bower goes better when we know what we’re looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

FAQs for Havering-atte-Bower
Will you come out to Havering-atte-Bower?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Havering-atte-Bower is covered. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you work overnight in Havering-atte-Bower?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. It means the site in Havering-atte-Bower keeps running as normal. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line and we will talk you through the next steps.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any site with a kitchen or a ventilation system to look after, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
How much notice do you need?
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.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
Doing both together is often sensible. A full clean takes in the whole extract, including the fan and comes with a TR19 certificate and photo report.

We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
How the visit works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, while signing off means the written report and photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. The timing of a visit to Havering-atte-Bower is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- 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.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Before we arrive
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Advice
When it’s something else
To be straight with you, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
If you’re not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option, and we’ll explain why.
Leave it or put it right?
Wherever the kitchen is, Havering-atte-Bower included, the fan often sits on an outside wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Fixing the cause quietens it down before it becomes a nuisance. It’s simpler to plan the work at Havering-atte-Bower now than to arrange it in a hurry 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.

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Havering-atte-Bower
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Essex. Work can be phased by floor, building or site around the people who use them.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
