How we handle extract fan repair in Stonebridge
Grease and fans do not mix. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan, and a full TR19® clean can be booked alongside. The work covers bearings, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan worn beyond sensible repair and a worn or slipping fan belt.
Replacing a fan in a London building often means working at height or in a tight plant space, with parking and lifting to arrange in Stonebridge. Work can be done after service, so the kitchen loses as little time as possible.
Good records are part of the job. Each visit is written up with photos, listing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Keep it with your fire safety records so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

What the work involves, part by part
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Expect the work in Stonebridge to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Get a fixed quote
To get a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We typically come back within one working day.
Advice
What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
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.
Why it’s worth doing now in Stonebridge
In Stonebridge, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before it becomes a nuisance. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so there are no surprises.
What you get with us
- Out-of-hours work and a 24/7 emergency line
- One number for every site across the South East and London
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Member of BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease

Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
Extract fans in Stonebridge
Food Standards Agency data counts about 242 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 190 takeaways and sandwich shops in Stonebridge and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Food hygiene inspections in Stonebridge are the job of Brent council’s environmental health team. 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.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Saint Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Stonebridge, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. For a takeaway near Harlesden station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7. School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like The Stonebridge School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Common questions in Stonebridge
What do you need to know about parking in Stonebridge?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stonebridge?
In Stonebridge, it’s Brent council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
Anything we cannot reach goes on the report, with photos where possible, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
How long will the fan be out of action?
That depends on what’s wrong, but most jobs take part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We’ll give you a better idea once we have diagnosed it.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
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.
How much notice do you need?
It depends on the time you need and how big the job is. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and for anything urgent, ring our 24/7 emergency line.
Where does the waste go?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. We do not leave it behind.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with photos of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
