Greater London · Extract fan repair and replacement
Bromley Common extract fan repair
One call covers extract fan repair and replacement in Bromley Common: survey, fixed quote, work and sign-off. CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, ISO 9001 and fully insured.
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. That means more to check, but often a simpler repair.
Fan controls
Controls are checked as well as the fan itself since the motor is not always to blame.
Extract fan repair in Bromley Common, done properly
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Bromley Common, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. If you are dealing with a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a squealing belt on start-up, we can put it right, from belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and fan motors onwards.
In London, getting a new fan to the roof or plant room can take planning, and in Bromley Common, parking and lifting are part of that. Repairs can be done out of hours so the kitchen keeps trading.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

What else we do in Bromley Common
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We clear up after ourselves and explain anything you need to know.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
What we are called out for in Bromley Common
Fans everywhere, Bromley Common included, live in a hard environment: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An overheating extract motor
If you manage a school such as Trinity Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
What to look for in a quote
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- What hours they’ll be on site
What staff can safely do
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
What affects the quote in Bromley Common
We don’t publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- How easy every part is to reach
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Travel, parking and unloading
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Mention every system or site you need covered, and you’ll get one fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- A few general shots of the system
- The site address and the type of premises
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks

Bromley Common questions
Which environmental health team covers Bromley Common?
Food hygiene inspections in Bromley Common are carried out by Bromley council. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
What do you need to know about parking in Bromley Common?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
Who do we call if the fan stops in the middle of cooking?
We run a 24/7 emergency callout for exactly this. We will take the details and get an engineer to you as quickly as possible.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes, when repair does not make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, fully. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Will the kitchen have to stop cooking while you work?
We isolate the fan for safety. Most kitchens book us out of hours to avoid losing a service.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
The ductwork is a separate job. We’ll tell you what we see and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
Repair is always our starting point. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we’ll tell you the reasons.
The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, including protection sheets, the right tools and access kit. You only need to give us clear access and switch off what needs to be off. The visit takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Expect the work in Bromley Common to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
Ask for a quote
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Larger sites, and anything hidden behind walls, ceilings or floors, are normally surveyed first. Either way, you get a fixed price before we start.
Advice
What happens if it’s left?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning and the fan may stop when you are busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. A building in Bromley Common may have flats or offices above and alongside, and a fault in the system can affect them too.
A single site or a whole portfolio, the quote is built the same way: what needs doing, how we get to it and when. The price is fixed before any work starts.

What extract fan repair looks like in Bromley Common
There are about 92 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 37 sandwich bars and takeaways in Bromley Common and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. London extract fans are often at the end of long duct runs, on roofs or in basements. Environmental health officers from Bromley council inspect food businesses in Bromley Common. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Holy Trinity Church or elsewhere in Bromley Common, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
