Extract fan repair in Tottenham
Kitchens in Tottenham call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we find the cause and quote a fixed price to repair or replace it. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. If you have a fan that whines, hums or grinds and a worn or slipping fan belt, we can help.
In London, a kitchen without working extraction can’t keep cooking safely, and a closed kitchen loses a night’s trade. Fans in Tottenham are often on a roof or in a basement at the end of a long duct run, so we ask about access first.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. That’s why every job is written up in a report with pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

How the job changes from site to site
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Extract fan repair in Tottenham: local notes
There are about 232 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 116 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Tottenham, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Food hygiene inspections in Tottenham are the job of Haringey council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning.
If you cook near Bruce Grove station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early. School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like The Mulberry Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
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, alongside 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.

What else we do in Tottenham
Tottenham questions
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Tottenham out of hours?
Tottenham is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Tottenham?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
What do you do to protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. Then you get a fixed quote.
Are you insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and in shared buildings more than one person can have duties. Your lease and fire risk assessment should make it clear.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us at the end of the visit. While we work, it’s kept contained so the area stays clean.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log with your in-house cleaning records. BESA says certificates should show the date, location and technician.
What we’re called out for in Tottenham
Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. A motor that strains runs hot and may cut out or fail.
Common reasons sites call us are:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary the Virgin or elsewhere in Tottenham, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
What to look for in a quote
- When the next visit should be, and why
- What paperwork you get at the end
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What happens if part of the system can’t be accessed
How the visit works
Your trading hours come first. Most visits are booked for when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends. Once we are in, the area is sheeted and anything that has to be off is turned off and cooled, and the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Tottenham.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- 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.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
Ask for a quote
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call 0345 646 2711 or email us.
