Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Rowley Green
Every fan job begins with finding the fault. Noise can come from grease on the impeller, worn bearings or a slipping belt; a dead fan can point to the motor or its controls. We explain the problem, and what it will take, before we start. The work covers fan housings, fan motors and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about an old fan that needs replacing and an extract fan that rattles or knocks.
In London, getting a new fan to the roof or plant room can take planning, with parking and lifting to arrange in Rowley Green. Work can be done after service, so the kitchen loses as little time as possible.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Questions from Rowley Green
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Rowley Green?
Extract fan emergencies in Rowley Green are covered around the clock. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
Which council inspects kitchens in Rowley Green?
Food hygiene inspections in Rowley Green are carried out by Barnet council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before work begins.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
What types of premises do you cover?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. We work with hotels, schools, care homes, offices, retail and leisure sites.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. Plans on a 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycle are available, depending on what the system needs.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, on every job. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
It can be one of a few things, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. The safest step is a proper diagnosis before the fault gets worse.

Extract fans in Rowley Green
Food Standards Agency data counts about 29 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 15 takeaways across Rowley Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Environmental health officers from Barnet council inspect food businesses in Rowley Green. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning.
For school kitchens, at schools like Saffron Green Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Cross or elsewhere in Rowley Green, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

What the work involves, part by part
Motors and bearings
Motors and bearings take the most strain in a kitchen extract fan. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning won’t help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
For landlords and multi-site operators
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We’re happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
How it works
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before we start, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Rowley Green is normally out of hours.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Before we arrive
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Clear loose items from the work area
Getting a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

What your team can do, and what needs us
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
Why act early in Rowley Green
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. Choosing the date yourself beats having a fault choose it for you.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we’ll price it together.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- The condition we find in the survey
- The scale of the work
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
What you pay reflects the actual work. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What we need to know
Photos and a few facts are often enough to price the work. Send what you can of the following:
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Problems your staff have spotted
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price so you know the cost before any work starts.
Keeping the system healthy
So the system stays in good health:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
