Extract fan repair in Brockley
Wherever your kitchen is in Brockley, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. The work covers fan motors, fan housings and kitchen extract fans, and people most often call us about a belt-driven fan that squeals and a whining or grinding extract motor.
In London, a kitchen without working extraction can’t keep cooking safely. In Brockley, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so we ask about access first.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair

Where we work
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Roof and wall fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Bearings
What happens if it’s left?
In Brockley, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why every job is surveyed first, and the price is agreed before work begins.

Part by part
Impellers and housings
The fan housing collects grease too. Both are inspected, and cleaning can form part of the repair.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. Access affects how long a repair takes and we plan around it.
When a fan fails in Brockley
Look up Brockley on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 316 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 199 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Brockley, up to about a mile and a half out. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. A failed fan in a London kitchen normally means a closed kitchen, so access details help us plan the repair. It’s Lewisham council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Brockley. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you cook near Crofton Park station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early. For school kitchens, at schools like Beecroft Garden Primary for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Hilda, or anywhere in Brockley, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

Common questions in Brockley
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Brockley?
Kitchens in Brockley are inspected by Lewisham council’s environmental health officers. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Do you cover Brockley for emergency fan repairs?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Brockley is within the area we cover. The number to ring is 0345 646 2711. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and TR19® is the benchmark for showing that grease in the extract is under control.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, on every job. It’s a dated, written report with photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: often the employer, owner or occupier. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Which accreditations do you hold?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We are fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used, and we’ll suggest a schedule and quote for it.
Does a faulty extract fan always need replacing?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible, and we will explain why.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Brockley
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
Where a tenant occupies the premises but the landlord owns the building, it’s worth checking the lease for who maintains the systems. We are happy to deal with either side and send the paperwork to whoever needs it.
What we do, step by step
Night work is normal for us. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Brockley is normally out of hours.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms

What else we do in Brockley
Looking after it afterwards
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
Grease on the fan typically 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.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
