Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Kenley
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Kenley, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it or fit a replacement when it’s beyond repair. Common call-outs are for a fan rattling in its housing and vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts, on fan motors, fan housings and kitchen extract fans.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan normally means the cooking stops. In Kenley, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so we ask about access first.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with pictures, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal and sits alongside the report.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
We regularly work with managing agents. Tell us the site, the work and the access arrangements, and we will send a fixed quote.
Facilities teams in offices, schools and healthcare sites book us too across Greater London. Work can be phased by floor, building or site to keep disruption down.
How the visit works
The visit has three parts: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Set-up means sheeting and making equipment safe, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. The middle part takes longest, and that takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Kenley is no exception.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- We explain the options and quote a fixed price.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Let us know when the site is closed or quiet

Related advice
What staff can safely do
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.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
Common questions in Kenley
How do you handle parking and loading in Kenley?
A loading bay, a visitor permit or off-street space near the site in Kenley makes the visit easier to plan. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Do you work at weekends in Kenley?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find and the report sets out why.
Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?
We do. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen with a fixed price agreed before work begins.
What’s 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 law, but it’s the benchmark.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We start with protection: sheeting over floors, worktops and anything close to the work. The area is left tidy, with our waste taken away.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
The ductwork is a separate job. We will tell you what we see, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.
What affects the quote in Kenley
We quote each job individually. These are the things that affect it:
- The size of the system
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- The condition of the system
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.
What to send for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Any previous report or certificate
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
Photos are enough for some jobs, while others need a look on site. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, the quote is fixed before any work is booked.

Honest limits
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it will not cover:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before you book.

What extract fan repair looks like in Kenley
Look up Kenley on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 56 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 39 sandwich bars and takeaways in and around Kenley, up to about a mile and a half out. 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. It’s Croydon council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Kenley. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of All Saints or elsewhere in Kenley, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. If you run a café or takeaway near Kenley station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.

Around Kenley
Around Kenley, our work takes us to kitchens and buildings near Dollypers Hill and Riddlesdown Collegiate and the streets around them. There’s a railway station in Kenley itself: Kenley station. Well-known places in the area include St George's Walk (3.4 miles north) and Croydon Airport Visitor Centre (2.4 miles north). The countryside around Kenley includes Duppas Hill and Foxley Wood.
Between visits
A little care between visits keeps the system in better shape. We recommend:
- Make sure every filter is in place and clean
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. A new noise or vibration is worth reporting early, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
Signs you need extract fan repair in Kenley
Kitchen extract fans in Kenley face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Condensation can corrode parts, and age catches up with every fan in the end.
Look out for these warning signs:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A humming noise from the fan motor
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Harris Primary Academy Kenley or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
