How we handle extract fan repair in Bromley Cross
If an extract fan in Bromley Cross is struggling or has stopped, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. Common call-outs are for an extract that vibrates through the ductwork and a motor that trips out or overheats, across belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and bearings.
For a fan repair in or near Bromley Cross, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a written report, dated and illustrated with pictures, 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.

The process
Everything the job needs comes with us, from protective sheeting to tools and access equipment. All we need from you is clear access and the right equipment switched off.

- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- 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.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and explain anything you need to know.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair instead of a breakdown at the worst moment.
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. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That’s our job.
Common problems we fix in Bromley Cross
Any kitchen that cooks for long hours works its fan hard, in Bromley Cross or anywhere else. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear and a slipping belt means slower fan speed and weaker extraction.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A fan rattling in its housing
- Poor airflow at the canopy
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Anne and St Lawrence or elsewhere in Bromley Cross, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
What your quote should include
- What hours they’ll be on site
- How areas they cannot reach will be recorded
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Whether the quote shows VAT
