About our extract fan repair in Winchmore Hill
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. The work covers fan motors, roof and wall fans and bearings, and the jobs we see most are a failed fan that needs a replacement and a fan that won’t start at all.
In London, getting a new fan to the roof or plant room can take planning, and in Winchmore Hill, parking and lifting are part of that. Work can be done after service, so the kitchen loses as little time as possible.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

When it’s something else
We won’t sell you work that doesn’t address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll tell you honestly before booking.

Winchmore Hill: your questions answered
Can the work in Winchmore Hill be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Winchmore Hill doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Does London parking affect a job in Winchmore Hill?
Parking and loading in London need planning, so tell us about bays, permits and building rules when you book. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
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, so it does not spread.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that’s one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. Every report includes a recommended date for the next visit, based on what we found and how the system is used.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
It depends on the fault, but most jobs take a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. We’ll give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
Leave it or put it right?
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, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. It’s better booked as a planned job in Winchmore Hill than handled as an emergency.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.

How we price extract fan repair
Your quote is based on your site. We consider:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- Parking and loading at the site
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- What state the system is in
What you pay reflects the actual work. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.
What we need to know
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Your last certificate, test record or report
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 we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. In Winchmore Hill, as across London, we typically 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.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive

Multi-site and managed buildings
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we will send a fixed quote.
From a single site to a large estate, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
Keeping the system healthy
Results last longer with the right care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
Grease on the fan normally means grease in the duct as well. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Booking a check at this stage keeps it a planned job instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
Extract fans in Winchmore Hill
There are about 170 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 44 takeaways in Winchmore Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. London extract fans are often at the end of long duct runs, on roofs or in basements. Environmental health officers from Enfield council inspect food businesses in Winchmore Hill. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
If you manage a school such as St. Paul's School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Winchmore Hill, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. For a takeaway near Winchmore Hill station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

What staff can safely do
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
