How we handle extract fan repair in North Wembley
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. Typical jobs include a fan shaking on its mountings and poor airflow at the canopy, across belts and pulleys, fan housings and fan motors.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan typically means the cooking stops. Fans in North Wembley 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.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them outside your busiest hours.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Part by part
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts, or the motor itself may be failing.
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Belts wear, stretch and slip, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
Why act early in North Wembley
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. It hides the symptom and weakens the extract, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in North Wembley gets to the real cause. It’s better booked as a planned job in North Wembley than handled as an emergency.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

For landlords and multi-site operators
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We’re happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
Common questions in North Wembley
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in North Wembley?
That is Brent council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in North Wembley. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in North Wembley?
Day or night, a failed fan in North Wembley can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained so the area stays clean.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Every site has its own report.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we are fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor for clients who vet their contractors.
Will you tell us when the next visit is due?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on use and what we found.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, covering the work, any areas we couldn’t access and the recommended next date. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
