- A motor that trips out or overheats
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A dead fan motor
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Loading bays, visitor permits and roof access are the first things we ask about for a site in Bexley Riverside.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
How to prepare
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Let us know about parking and loading
Getting a quote
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Related advice
Extract fan repair in Bexley Riverside, done properly
A faulty fan doesn’t always mean a new one. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we will say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. If you are dealing with an overheating extract motor and a whining or grinding extract motor, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, bearings and belts and pulleys onwards.
London extract fans often sit on rooftops, exposed to the weather as well as the grease, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. A fan that’s noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
Good records are part of the job. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

For extract fan repair in Bexley Riverside, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email. Let us know the site type and the opening hours, plus photos or the previous report if they’re to hand. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.
Why it’s worth doing now in Bexley Riverside
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Common questions in Bexley Riverside
Can you work in Bexley Riverside outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Bexley Riverside can fit around your hours. Let us know the hours you’re closed and we will book within them.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Bexley Riverside?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Bexley Riverside is part of our area. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® itself is not law; it’s a BESA specification. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The report recommends when the next visit should be, based on what we found and how the system is used.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
A repair deals with the fan, not the grease in the rest of the system. Grease on the fan usually means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work and have been trading since 2009.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that’s one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
How far ahead should we book?
The more notice, the better, particularly for night and weekend visits. Quotes typically come back within one working day, and emergencies are covered by our 24/7 line.
Aftercare tips
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. Our tips:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Bexley Riverside
Kitchen extract fans in Bexley Riverside face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- An overheating extract motor
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A worn or slipping fan belt
If you run a café or takeaway near Barnehurst station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.
Before you book anyone
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether they’re fully insured
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Landlords, managing agents and facilities managers book us, not only the businesses that use the systems. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we’re happy to quote for all of it.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We can quote either party and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
Extract fans in Bexley Riverside
Food Standards Agency data counts about 101 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 84 takeaways and sandwich shops in Bexley Riverside and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Environmental health officers from Bexley council inspect food businesses in Bexley Riverside. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Paul's or elsewhere in Bexley Riverside, can seize between uses. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Normandy Primary School, rather than mid-term.
