Common questions in North End
Can parking be tricky for a job in North End?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in North End out of hours?
North End is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We’re fully insured, and the details are available on request.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Most fan jobs take anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, including testing. We plan the work around your service where possible.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
Not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, from your pictures and details, or with a visit where necessary. A fixed quote follows.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
In many cases, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts and we only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in North End
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: 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 belts and pulleys, fan motors and bearings, and common reasons people get in touch are a humming noise from the fan motor and a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen.
Rooftop fans in London take the weather as well as the grease from below, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. A fan that is noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
The report is your system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

When to call us in North End
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that will not start isn’t always a dead motor.
Look out for any of the following:
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A humming noise from the fan motor
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as St. Paul's (Slade Green) Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term.

Extract fan repair in North End: local notes
Look up North End on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 71 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 67 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of North End. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Kitchens in North End get their food hygiene inspections from Bexley council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. Lifting a replacement fan onto a London roof can need a loading slot and the building’s agreement.
For kitchens close to Slade Green station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St. Augustine's Church or elsewhere in North End, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

What affects the quote in North End
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- The times the site is available
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Travel, parking and unloading
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before work begins.
Helping us quote
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- A few general shots of the system
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
For a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
For landlords and multi-site operators
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 each one has its own record.
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We work across London and the South East, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.

Why it’s worth doing now in North End
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly, and that often happens mid-service. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. In North End, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re unsure, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Anything that needs to be off for the work is switched off and left to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Managed blocks in London often need contractors booked in ahead, and we are happy to deal with the agent directly for a site in North End.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Move anything stored near the system

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it, and we’ll explain why.
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that’s the cause, we will say so so you know who to call.
What staff can safely do
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
