Your questions about extract fan repair in Wood Green
Does London parking affect a job in Wood Green?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Wood Green?
Day or night, a failed fan in Wood Green can be reported on our emergency line. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
How much time does a fan repair need?
Typically, a fan repair takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. If parts have to be ordered, we will tell you how long that’s likely to be.
How much notice do you need?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We usually quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
Do you offer maintenance contracts?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs, so give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will arrange a diagnosis.
Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Wood Green
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. The work covers bearings, belts and pulleys and fan motors, and the jobs we see most 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 Wood Green. Work can be done after service, so the kitchen loses as little time as possible.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with pictures of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

What happens on the day
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. If your building in Wood Green has sign-in rules, permits or key holders, mention them when you book.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
How to get a quote
Every quote begins with a look at the system, from your photos and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. Then we send a fixed price, before we start.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It’s based on:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The scale of the work
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
A single site or a whole portfolio, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. The price is fixed before we start.
What to send for a quote
To speed up the quote, send us:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
When to call us in Wood Green
Grease that gets past the filters ends up on the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
The symptoms we are asked about most are:
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A dead fan motor
- An overheating extract motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Michael and All Angels or elsewhere in Wood Green, can seize between uses.

Part by part
Fan controls
We check the controls as part of every diagnosis since the motor isn’t always to blame.
Direct-drive fans
In a direct-drive fan, the impeller sits on the motor shaft. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Why it’s worth doing now in Wood Green
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Shared walls, risers and roofs mean a problem at one London site seldom stays put.
The cost depends on the size of the system, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

When a fan fails in Wood Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 418 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 145 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Wood Green. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Kitchens in Wood Green get their food hygiene inspections from Haringey council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. London extract fans are often at the end of long duct runs, on roofs or in basements.
For a takeaway near Alexandra Palace station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as St Michael's CofE Primary School, rather than mid-term.

Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
What staff can safely do
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.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. 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.
