How we handle extract fan repair in Broom Hill
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That is why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. If you’re dealing with a belt-driven fan that squeals and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, we can put it right.
London extract fans often sit on rooftops, exposed to the weather as well as the grease, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. A fan that is noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
Duct Doctor has been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we carry full insurance.

What extract fan repair looks like in Broom Hill
Food Standards Agency records list about 110 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 62 sandwich bars and takeaways in Broom Hill and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In Broom Hill, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bromley council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Perry Hall Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts. For kitchens close to Orpington station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Broom Hill, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Broom Hill questions
Does London parking affect a job in Broom Hill?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Broom Hill makes the visit easier to plan. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit normally gets round them.
Which environmental health team covers Broom Hill?
That’s Bromley council, whose environmental health officers carry out food hygiene inspections in Broom Hill. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Are you insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
How long will the fan be out of action?
Most fan jobs take a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan, including testing. We plan the work around your service wherever we can.
What if our extract fan fails during service?
You can reach our emergency line day or night. Until the fan is running, think carefully about cooking without extraction, and we will aim to get it going again.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
We cannot price it without knowing the fault. Once we’ve looked at it, you get a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. A single log for each site works best.
What accreditations do you have?
BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001. We’re fully insured and have been trading since 2009.
What we do, step by step
We are used to working while the site is closed. Evenings, nights and weekends are when much of our work happens, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. The visit itself takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Expect the work in Broom Hill to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Clear loose items from the work area
Ask for a quote

Advice
When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work can’t put right:
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors

- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Different parts, different methods
Direct-drive fans
Many kitchen extracts use direct-drive fans. When the motor fails, replacing the whole fan unit can make more sense than repairing it and we will talk you through it.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. Loose fixings and worn mounts are often the cause.
Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and protects the motor.
