From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Northumberland Heath
Wherever your kitchen is in Northumberland Heath, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you are cooking. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan housings and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are an extract fan that rattles or knocks and a humming noise from the fan motor.
In London, a kitchen without working extraction cannot keep cooking safely. In Northumberland Heath, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so access is the first thing we ask about.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Northumberland Heath saves time on the night.

- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.

When a fan fails in Northumberland Heath
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 82 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 77 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Northumberland Heath. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. It’s Bexley council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Northumberland Heath. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. A failed fan in a London kitchen normally means a closed kitchen, so access details help us plan the repair.
For school kitchens, at schools like King Henry School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. For a takeaway near Barnehurst station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

Keeping the system healthy
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it helps at the next visit:
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. You’ll hear what we found and what we did along with anything else that needs watching.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
Questions from Northumberland Heath
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Northumberland Heath at night?
Northumberland Heath is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Northumberland Heath?
Kitchens in Northumberland Heath are inspected by Bexley council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. A replacement is matched to the system it’s going into with a fixed price agreed before we start.
Which records should we keep?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, photos and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
There are several possible causes, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
What accreditations do you have?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
What the work involves, part by part
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
What we’re called out for in Northumberland Heath
Fans everywhere, Northumberland Heath included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Clients usually contact us after spotting one of these:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A whining or grinding extract motor
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Paul's or elsewhere in Northumberland Heath, can seize between uses.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Why it’s worth doing now in Northumberland Heath
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. Planning ahead in Northumberland Heath lets you pick a quiet night rather than lose a busy one.
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before work begins.

Honest limits
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before you book.
