Extract fan repair in Bromley: local notes
Kitchens in Bromley get their food hygiene inspections from East Hertfordshire council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority. We cover Bromley, about 27 miles from central London, as part of our work across London and the South East. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends, so the visit fits around the site.
Fan failures around Bromley don’t keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line. In Bromley, a fan clogged with grease is cleaned as well as repaired, so the fault doesn’t come straight back.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Bromley
Is Bromley within the area you cover?
Yes, we work in villages as well as towns, and Bromley is covered. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can you work in Bromley outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you replace extract fans as well as repair them?
Yes. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we will explain the options.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We cannot price it without knowing the fault. After we have checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. Tell us the addresses and what each needs and you will get one fixed quote.
Which records should we keep?
Every certificate and report from each visit, kept together in your maintenance log, along with your own cleaning log. BESA advises that certificates record the date, location and technician.
How we price extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The number of sites or systems
- The times the site is available
- What state the system is in
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are unsure, ring 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
Helping us quote
When you call or email, it’s useful to have:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
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, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.
Honest limits
In fairness, there are a few things this work will not fix:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If you are not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Kitchen extract fans
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Fan motors
- Bearings
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works, and we’ll send a fixed quote.
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Every building has its own written report, so records stay tidy.
What staff can safely do
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.
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and send you a fixed quote.
How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. For a village or hamlet like Bromley, tell us about narrow lanes, gates and parking when you book.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- 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.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions

Why act early in Bromley
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. In a small place like Bromley, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
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’ll price it together.
Why choose Duct Doctor in Bromley
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- Trading since 2009
- Fixed quotes, usually within one working day

Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
Grease on the impeller unbalances a direct-drive fan quickly. Sometimes a clean is all it needs, if the bearings haven’t been damaged.
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, so we check the pulleys and bearings as well.
