Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Berry's Green
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. Typical jobs include a fan shaking on its mountings and a fan rattling in its housing, on belts and pulleys, bearings and kitchen extract fans.
In London, a kitchen without working extraction cannot keep cooking safely, and a closed kitchen loses a night’s trade. Fans in Berry's Green are often on a roof or in a basement at the end of a long duct run, so we ask about access first.
Our accreditations include CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Between visits
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
What happens if it’s left?
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. For a site in Berry's Green, fitting the work in overnight now is far easier than closing at short notice later.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: the work involved, the access and the timing. You’ll have a fixed price before any work starts.

FAQs for Berry's Green
Does London parking affect a job in Berry's Green?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Berry's Green, and about any building rules on loading. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
Do you work overnight in Berry's Green?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. That way a site in Berry's Green doesn’t have to lose a day’s trading. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Which accreditations do you hold?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
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.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
That depends on what we find. We diagnose first and tell you whether a repair is realistic, then send you a fixed quote.
What happens to the waste?
Anything we remove is contained as we work and taken away with us, including grease, debris and dirty water. None of it is left on site.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. Replacing a fan is part of our fits and repairs work and we’ll talk you through what’s involved.

When to call us in Berry's Green
Kitchen extract fans in Berry's 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.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A dead fan motor
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A humming noise from the fan motor
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Berry's Green, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
What to look for in a quote
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- When the next visit should be, and why

- Whether they’re fully insured
Extract fan repair in Berry's Green: local notes
There are about 13 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 10 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Berry's Green, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Kitchens in Berry's Green get their food hygiene inspections from Bromley council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority. London extract fans are often at the end of long duct runs, on roofs or in basements.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Cudham Church of England Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

When it’s something else
