Questions from Bromley
Do you cover Bromley for emergency fan repairs?
Day or night, a failed fan in Bromley can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
What do you need to know about parking in Bromley?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Bromley, and about any building rules on loading. Working overnight, as we often do in London, normally makes it simpler.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Do you have insurance?
Yes. Full insurance covers our work, and we’ve been trading since 2009.
Who is the responsible person?
That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.
What accreditations do you have?
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.
How do you protect the area?
Protection goes down first: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Where does the waste go?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
How we handle extract fan repair in Bromley
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. The work covers fan housings, fan motors and belts and pulleys, and the jobs we see most are a failed fan that needs a replacement and poor airflow at the canopy.
Rooftop fans in London take the weather as well as the grease from below, and in time, bearings, belts and motors fail. Noise and vibration are worth reporting before the fan stops.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

What we do, step by step
Every visit runs to the same pattern: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and hand over the paperwork. On site, the work takes a few hours for most repairs, longer for a full fan replacement. Security desks and permits-to-work are routine in London, so let us know what your building in Bromley needs from us.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Aftercare tips
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Report new noises from the fan early
If parts have to be ordered, we tell you how the kitchen can carry on in the meantime. We then come back and fit them at a time that suits your service.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
What staff can safely do
When your team notices a problem between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We can diagnose it and quote.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
When a fan fails in Bromley
There are about 163 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 58 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Bromley, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. Lifting a replacement fan onto a London roof can need a loading slot and the building’s agreement. Food hygiene inspections in Bromley are the job of Bromley council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you run a café or takeaway near Bromley South station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. If you manage a school such as St Mark's Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

How we price extract fan repair
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- A single visit or a regular plan
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- How easy every part is to reach
- Parking and loading at the site
When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
- Any previous report or certificate
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We normally come back within one working day.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Bromley
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. Then every vibration is passed into the duct and the building, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Look out for any of the following:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Bromley, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.
Questions to ask before you book

What the work involves, part by part
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that is the cause, we’ll say so and explain what we found.
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
For landlords and multi-site operators
We also work for facilities teams across offices, schools and healthcare across Greater London. Larger estates can be phased building by building to keep disruption down.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we will come back with a fixed quote.
