About our extract fan repair in Manor House
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. Common call-outs are for a fan rattling in its housing and a fan that whines, hums or grinds, on bearings, belts and pulleys and fan motors.
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 is noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Honest limits
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so here are the limits:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with

Common problems we fix in Manor House
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Manor House or anywhere else. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan rattling in its housing
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
For school kitchens, at schools like Woodberry Down Community Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
If you look after several sites, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Manor House questions
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Manor House?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Manor House is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
What do you need to know about parking in Manor House?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Manor House makes the visit easier to plan. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Each report and certificate we give you, filed in the maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
It depends on the building. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, it’s the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. Grease on the fan typically means grease in the ducts, and we can arrange both.
Aftercare tips
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
What we do, step by step
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.

Get a fixed quote

Advice
Why deal with it now?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you are busiest. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
One small site or a whole estate, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East

When a fan fails in Manor House
Food Standards Agency data counts about 579 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 161 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Manor House. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Environmental health officers from Hackney council inspect food businesses in Manor House. 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.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Olave or elsewhere in Manor House, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. If you cook near Harringay Green Lanes station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
