Extractor fan repair in Chislehurst
Repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts for businesses, landlords and public buildings in Chislehurst. BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease.
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan shaking on its mountings

What staff can safely do
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.
If your staff spot something 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.
Extract fan repair in Chislehurst
Across Chislehurst, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. The work covers kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and bearings, and people most often call us about an overheating extract motor and a failed fan that needs a replacement.
Rooftop fans in London take the weather as well as the grease from below, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. Noise and vibration are worth reporting before the fan stops.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

FAQs for Chislehurst
Can parking be tricky for a job in Chislehurst?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Chislehurst makes the visit easier to plan. Much of our London work is done overnight, which helps.
Who inspects food businesses in Chislehurst?
The local authority for Chislehurst is Bromley council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Which accreditations do you hold?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
What is TR19?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It isn’t legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Does the extract need to be off for a fan repair?
We need the extract switched off during the repair, so the kitchen cannot cook under it. We book the work outside your service times wherever possible.
What do you do to protect the area?
Floors and surfaces near the work are sheeted before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
It depends on the fault, but as a guide it takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. We will give you a better idea once we’ve diagnosed it.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Shared systems, like a riser serving several units, need a clear agreement on who books the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
What the work involves, part by part
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. There are no belts, so faults tend to be in the motor, bearings or impeller.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Many kitchen extract fans sit on a roof or an outside wall. How easy the fan is to reach shapes the job and we plan around it.
Looking after it afterwards
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
Why deal with it now?
A fan that’s running slowly isn’t clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll explain each part.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- Parking and loading at the site
Leaving it longer rarely makes the work cheaper. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email for straight advice and a fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The site address and the type of premises
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email 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. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
How the visit works
We work around your opening hours, not the other way round. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that is an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the job takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. Many London buildings have a managing agent, a security desk or a permit-to-work system, so tell us who to contact in Chislehurst.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
How to prepare
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Advice
Other services in Chislehurst
What extract fan repair looks like in Chislehurst
Food Standards Agency records list about 52 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 17 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Chislehurst. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Environmental health officers from Bromley council inspect food businesses in Chislehurst. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. Lifting a replacement fan onto a London roof can need a loading slot and the building’s agreement.
If you cook near Chislehurst station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early. Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Red Hill Primary School, rather than mid-term. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Parish Church The Annunciation Of Blessed Virgin Mary or elsewhere in Chislehurst, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
