Extract fan repair in Bromley, done properly
Working on a fan in Bromley means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you’re cooking. The work covers belts and pulleys, fan motors and kitchen extract fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan that won’t start at all and a motor that trips out or overheats.
In London, getting a new fan to the roof or plant room can take planning, with parking and lifting to arrange in Bromley. Repairs can be done out of hours so the kitchen keeps trading.
We are CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we’re fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we’ve been trading since 2009.

Leave it or put it right?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. Every hour of strain takes its toll, and when it finally fails, it may take other parts with it. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. A busy site in Bromley builds up dirt and wear quickly, so putting it off makes the eventual job larger.
Combining work into one visit or one programme often makes better use of the time. Mention every system or site you need covered and we will price it together.

When to call us in Bromley
In Bromley, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. Belts on a belt-driven fan stretch and wear, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
What we are most often called out for:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An overheating extract motor
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
Hall kitchens near Bow Church, or anywhere around Bromley, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.
Questions to ask before booking
- What paperwork you get at the end
- How VAT is shown on the quote
- Whether the price is fixed
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

Bromley: your questions answered
Do you work overnight in Bromley?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Bromley needn’t be disturbed. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Bromley?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit usually gets round them.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.
How much notice should we give?
Book as early as you can for planned work, especially if the next clean or test is due soon. For emergencies, we take calls 24/7.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. You get a written report with photos after each visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A fan repair on its own does not include the ductwork. We’ll point out grease where we find it, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
Do you work in Bromley?
Yes. We work across Greater London, Surrey, Kent, Sussex, Hampshire, the Isle of Wight, Berkshire, Buckinghamshire, Oxfordshire, Hertfordshire and Essex, and that includes Bromley.
Part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option, and we will explain why.
Extract fans in Bromley
Food Standards Agency records list about 543 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 199 sandwich bars and takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Bromley. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Kitchens in Bromley get their food hygiene inspections from Tower Hamlets council. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like St Agnes RC Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

For a job in Bromley, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
