Extract fan repair and replacement in Coulsdon, Greater London

Landlords, agents and facilities managers

Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept to a regular schedule.

From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.

Extract fans in Coulsdon

Food Standards Agency data counts about 45 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 29 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Coulsdon. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Food hygiene inspections in Coulsdon are the job of Croydon council’s environmental health team. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. A failed fan in a London kitchen normally means a closed kitchen, so access details help us plan the repair.

Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Andrew's Church or elsewhere in Coulsdon, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up. If you run a kitchen close to Coulsdon South station and the extract fan is getting noisy, a planned repair after closing beats a breakdown at the rush. For school kitchens, at schools like Smitham Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

What your team can do, and what needs us

Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks helps show that the system is managed between specialist visits, next to our reports.

Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t the same thing. Wiping filters daily and washing them weekly keeps the visible parts in order, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.

How the job changes from site to site

Impellers and housings

Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. We check both and cleaning may be part of the fix.

Roof and wall-mounted fans

Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
