Greater London · Extract fan repair and replacement
Extract fan repair and replacement in Kevington, Greater London
Extract fan repair for Kevington, from a team that has been trading since 2009. Out-of-hours visits and 24/7 emergency callout.
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- A dead fan motor
- A fan rattling in its housing
Keeping the system healthy
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. We recommend:
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
Extract fan repair in Kevington, done properly
Extract fan repair starts with a diagnosis. A noisy fan might need cleaning, new bearings or a new belt, while a fan that won’t start may have a motor or control fault. You hear what we have found before any work goes ahead. If you’re dealing with an overheating extract motor and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen, we can help, from bearings, belts and pulleys and fan motors onwards.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan usually means the cooking stops. In Kevington, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so access is the first thing we ask about.
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’re fully insured.

What extract fan repair cannot fix
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean

Parts of the system we cover

- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
Part by part
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
How it works
Night work is normal for us. 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 anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. For a job in Kevington, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about access, such as roof hatches, plant rooms, ceilings or locked areas
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time

Extract fans in Kevington
There are about 57 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 30 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Kevington, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Food hygiene inspections in Kevington are the job of Bromley council’s environmental health team. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That’s 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 manage a school such as Manor Oak Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Unity Church or elsewhere in Kevington, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

What’s near Kevington
In Kevington, that means kitchens and buildings near The Priory School and Harris Academy Orpington and the streets around them. The nearest railway station is St Mary Cray station, roughly 1.4 miles north-west of the centre. Nearby you’ll also find Lullingstone Castle (3.2 miles south-east) and London Borough of Bromley Museum (1.5 miles west). Not far away are Summer Hill and The Warren.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not 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. Reaching it takes a specialist with the right equipment.
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Kevington
Which council inspects kitchens in Kevington?
Kitchens in Kevington are inspected by Bromley council’s environmental health officers. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Kevington?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Kevington, and about any building rules on loading. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we’ve checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for whichever option you choose.
Will the kitchen have to stop cooking while you work?
The fan has to be isolated while we work on it, so cooking under the canopy has to stop. We book the work outside your service times wherever possible.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you are fixing the fan?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, 24/7. Our office is open from 8am to 6pm on weekdays, with the emergency line covering every other hour.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Noise typically comes from grease build-up, bearings, belts or loose fixings. Rattles, whines and grinding point to different faults, and we diagnose it on site.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes pictures, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Why act early in Kevington
In Kevington, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise doesn’t stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. It’s better booked as a planned job in Kevington than handled as an emergency.
