About our extract fan repair in Tottenham Green
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Tottenham Green, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. Common call-outs are for vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a squealing belt on start-up, across roof and wall fans, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan typically means the cooking stops. In Tottenham Green, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so we ask about access first.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

What extract fan repair looks like in Tottenham Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 338 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 125 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Tottenham Green. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Food hygiene inspections in Tottenham Green 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. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. A failed fan in a London kitchen normally means a closed kitchen, so access details help us plan the repair.
If you run a café or takeaway near Seven Sisters station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Earlsmead Primary School, rather than mid-term.

Why deal with it now?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you will get one fixed quote.

Part by part
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Heat, grease and long running hours all wear them.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and renew them where needed.

FAQs for Tottenham Green
Do you work at weekends in Tottenham Green?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What do you need to know about parking in Tottenham Green?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Tottenham Green makes the visit easier to plan. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Are you accredited?
Duct Doctor is a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We cannot price it without knowing the fault. Once we have looked at it, you get a fixed quote for whichever option you choose.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
What do you do to protect the area?
We start with protection: floor sheeting and covers over nearby surfaces and equipment. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Tottenham Green
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 work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we are happy to quote for all of it.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
If your staff spot something between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What we’re called out for in Tottenham Green
Kitchen extract fans in Tottenham Green face the same conditions as anywhere else: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
The symptoms we’re asked about most are:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A worn or slipping fan belt
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An extract fan that has stopped working
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Tottenham Green, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
What to look for in a quote
- If the quote is a fixed price or an estimate
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Whether a survey comes first
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
What we do, step by step
Your staff do not need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Tottenham Green.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Agree a time when the area can be out of use
- Clear the space around the work
Ask for a quote
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from pictures or on a visit, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, phone us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line.
