Common questions in Kenton
How do you handle parking and loading in Kenton?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Kenton makes the visit easier to plan. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can the work in Kenton be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The work in Kenton can fit around your hours. When you give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us, mention when the site is quiet.
Which accreditations do you hold?
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.
Do you work in Kenton?
Yes. We work in Kenton and the rest of Greater London, within our South East and London area. To book, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
How far ahead should we book?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we will explain the options.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Extract fan repair in Kenton, done properly
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough, and that is what we’ll recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. We are often asked to deal with vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a fan that won’t start at all, on fan motors, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan usually means the cooking stops. Fans in Kenton are often on a roof or in a basement at the end of a long duct run, so access is the first thing we ask about.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with photos of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

For landlords and multi-site operators
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. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
Extract fan repair around Kenton
Food Standards Agency records list about 227 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 110 takeaways and sandwich shops in Kenton and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. It’s Harrow council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Kenton. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning.
If you run a kitchen close to Kenton station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush. For school kitchens, at schools like St Gregory's Catholic Science College for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Kenton.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Move anything stored near the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Advice
When it’s something else
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If in doubt, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will say what we think.
Parts of the system we cover
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
Common problems we fix in Kenton
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that is a common source of rattles.
The symptoms we’re asked about most include:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Mary, or anywhere in Kenton, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
What to look for in a quote
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Proof of insurance
- How they set the interval to the next visit
- When they can work, and whether that’s outside your opening hours
Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and the quieter it runs.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Kenton
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Any permits to work or inductions
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- The size of the system
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
To help us quote quickly, send us:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
What staff can safely do
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t 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. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
