About our extract fan repair in Norwood New Town
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back, and that is what we will recommend. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. We are often asked to deal with a fan that won’t start at all and a humming noise from the fan motor, across fan housings, roof and wall fans and fan motors.
Rooftop fans in London take the weather as well as the grease from below, and in time, bearings, belts and motors fail. A fan that is noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

Do you need extract fan repair in Norwood New Town?
When filters clog and ducts fill with grease, the fan has to strain. An overworked motor overheats and may cut out or fail.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
- An old fan that needs replacing
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An overheating extract motor
Hall kitchens near New Covenant Church-Equipping People, or anywhere around Norwood New Town, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

How the visit works
Our technicians bring everything the work needs, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Most London sites cannot stop for the day, so work in Norwood New Town is usually done overnight, early in the morning or at weekends.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, alongside our reports.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
What extract fan repair looks like in Norwood New Town
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 201 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 165 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Norwood New Town. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. In Norwood New Town, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Croydon council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority. Lifting a replacement fan onto a London roof can need a loading slot and the building’s agreement.
If you cook near Gipsy Hill station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early. If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Rockmount Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

What else we do in Norwood New Town
For landlords and multi-site operators
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we will come back with a fixed quote.
How the job changes from site to site
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
What a clean won’t put right
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll tell you honestly before you book.

Norwood New Town questions

Can parking be tricky for a job in Norwood New Town?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Norwood New Town makes the visit easier to plan. Working overnight, as we often do in London, usually makes it simpler.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. We always survey first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Which accreditations do you hold?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we are fully insured.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
That depends on what we find. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not normally. Visits are timed for when the area is closed, such as overnight or at a weekend, so you keep your normal hours.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, to suit the system and how it’s used.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
