Extract fan repair in Norwood Green
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt, while a fan that will not start may have a motor or control fault. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before any work starts. If you have a squealing belt on start-up and a dead fan motor, we can put it right, from belts and pulleys, fan motors and fan housings onwards.
Rooftop fans in London take the weather as well as the grease from below, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. Noise and vibration are worth reporting before the fan stops.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Why act early in Norwood Green
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained, so a small repair can grow into a bigger one. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

What we do, step by step
At the end of the visit, someone from your team can look over the work with us. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. A name and number for whoever controls access to the building in Norwood Green saves time on the night.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- 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.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

What your team can do, and what needs us
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Keep a record of what your team does. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Norwood Green
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that’s a common source of rattles.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An overheating extract motor
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Norwood Green, can seize between uses.

What else we do in Norwood Green
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
A damaged or corroded impeller cannot simply be cleaned. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and renew them where needed.
What extract fan repair looks like in Norwood Green
There are about 221 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 101 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Norwood Green, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Environmental health officers from Ealing council inspect food businesses in Norwood Green. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. London extract fans are often at the end of long duct runs, on roofs or in basements.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like St Mary's Church of England Primary Norwood Green, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Not normally. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
