Greater London · Extract fan repair and replacement
Extract Fan Repair in Anerley
Extract fan repair and replacement for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Anerley. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and fully insured.
- An old fan that needs replacing
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An overheating extract motor
Why deal with it now?
Wherever the kitchen is, Anerley included, the fan often sits on an outside 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 neighbours notice. Every month a London system goes without attention adds to what has to be done later.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What you get with us
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Fully insured
- In business since 2009
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London

Extract fan repair in Anerley, done properly
Wherever your kitchen is in Anerley, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so we plan it around your service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. Typical jobs include a worn or slipping fan belt and a fan rattling in its housing, across fan housings, bearings and belts and pulleys.
In London, a kitchen without working extraction can’t keep cooking safely, and a closed kitchen loses a night’s trade. Fans in Anerley are often on a roof or in a basement at the end of a long duct run, so we ask about access first.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. After that, the system is made safe and the work begins. The work on site takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Anerley is no exception.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and photos, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
When it’s something else
It’s worth knowing the limits before booking:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll tell you honestly.

Common questions in Anerley
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Anerley?
Kitchens in Anerley are inspected by Bromley council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can you work in Anerley outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. That way a site in Anerley doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Often, yes. Many faults are fixed by cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts, and we’ll always say when repair makes sense.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. The area we are working in has to be out of use while we are there, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. You will know exactly which parts weren’t reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
What accreditations do you have?
We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Call us any time and explain what’s happened.
Looking after it afterwards
How long the results last depends on use and care. We suggest:
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Left for months, they can damage the motor or bearings, so it’s worth acting early.
When a fan fails in Anerley
There are about 229 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 138 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Anerley, 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. Kitchens in Anerley get their food hygiene inspections from Bromley council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning.
For a takeaway near Anerley 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 James Dixon Primary School, rather than mid-term. Hall kitchens near St Paul's, or anywhere around Anerley, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
