How we handle extract fan repair in Pinner Green
Think of it as a check-up for the fan: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a clear explanation of what was done. Typical jobs include a whining or grinding extract motor and poor airflow at the canopy, on fan motors, roof and wall fans and belts and pulleys.
London extract fans often sit on rooftops, exposed to the weather as well as the grease, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. A fan that is noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
A written report with photos follows each visit, so there’s a dated record of the work. Kitchen extract cleaning to TR19® Grease is certificated through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What happens on the day
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, do the work, tidy up and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. In Pinner Green, as across London, we normally work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.

Advice
Different parts, different methods
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.
Fan controls
Every fan has controls, from a speed controller to an isolator. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What staff can safely do
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, next to our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Pinner Green
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Pinner Green?
Day or night, a failed fan in Pinner Green can be reported on our emergency line. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Which environmental health team covers Pinner Green?
In Pinner Green, it’s Harrow council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
Often, yes. A clean, a new belt or new bearings can bring a fan back and we only recommend replacement when repair does not make sense.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a dated report with pictures, listing the work and any areas we couldn’t reach.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Between visits
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
What we’re called out for in Pinner Green
In Pinner Green, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
What we are most often called out for:
- A fan that will not start at all
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan that whines, hums or grinds
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Harlyn Primary School, rather than mid-term.
Questions to ask before booking
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
- What hours they’ll be on site
- Proof of insurance
