About our extract fan repair in Nazeing
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: we hear the symptoms, find the cause and put it right. The aim is steady, quiet extraction and a plain account of what we found. The work covers roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and fan motors, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that won’t start at all and a failed fan that needs a replacement.
A callout to a small place like Nazeing goes better when we know what we are looking at: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so you have a record of what was done and when. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Nazeing: your questions answered
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Nazeing?
Kitchens in Nazeing are inspected by Epping Forest council’s environmental health officers. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Do you cover Nazeing for emergency fan repairs?
Extract fan emergencies in Nazeing are covered around the clock. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Which sectors do you work in?
Commercial premises of every kind: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. Work is timed around how each site runs.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Tell us what you have and how it’s used, and we will suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
We look at repairing it first. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer and we will tell you the reasons.
What is TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
What we are called out for in Nazeing
Not every problem is mechanical. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan, and a fan that will not start isn’t always a dead motor.
Keep an eye out for any of the following:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan that won’t start at all
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Water Lane Primary Academy or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
Before you book anyone
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or photos
What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.
What happens if it’s left?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you are busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. A planned visit to Nazeing is easier to arrange than an emergency callout.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all play a part.

When a fan fails in Nazeing
There are about 5 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in and around Nazeing, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Nazeing is about 18 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Environmental health officers from Epping Forest council inspect food businesses in Nazeing. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
Hall kitchens near Church of All Saints, or anywhere around Nazeing, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Honest limits
Before booking, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If in doubt, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will say what we think before you book.
What we work on in Nazeing
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
Looking after it afterwards
So the system stays in good health:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, 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.
The process
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. In a small place like Nazeing, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
Get a fixed quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
