Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
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, alongside our reports.
Extract fan repair in Leaves Green
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. We find out why and put it right with a repair or a replacement. The work covers fan housings, roof and wall fans and fan motors, and common reasons people get in touch are a fan that won’t start at all and a fan rattling in its housing.
In London, a kitchen without working extraction cannot keep cooking safely. In Leaves Green, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so access is the first thing we ask about.
Nothing is signed off by word of mouth: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. Any parts we couldn’t reach are recorded on it too.

Leaves Green: your questions answered
Is parking a problem for work in Leaves Green?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Leaves Green, and about any building rules on loading. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Do you work at weekends in Leaves Green?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form, mention when the site is quiet.
How far ahead should we book?
Earlier is better, particularly for night and weekend visits. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
A fan repair on its own does not include the ductwork. We will point out grease where we find it and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. There’s a 24/7 emergency line, for problems that cannot wait. Ring any time and tell us what’s happened.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The recommended date is on the report. BESA’s minimum intervals for kitchen extracts range from 3-monthly for heavy use to 12-monthly for light use, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Where does the waste go?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
How the job changes from site to site
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.
Motors and bearings
A grinding or rumbling noise often means worn bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself and then recommend the fix.
What extract fan repair looks like in Leaves Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 7 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 5 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Leaves Green. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. In Leaves Green, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bromley council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Meridian High School, rather than mid-term.

Signs you need extract fan repair in Leaves Green
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An overheating extract motor
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A fan that will not start at all
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Keston Parish Church or elsewhere in Leaves Green, can seize between uses.
Questions to ask before booking
- What insurance they carry
- If they look at the system before pricing
- When the next visit should be, and why
- Exactly which parts of the system are covered

Aftercare tips
So the system stays in good health:
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and wear is caught earlier.
What happens on the day
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 part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Getting kit into a London building takes planning, so let us know where we can load and park in Leaves Green.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear the space around the work
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
How we price extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- The scale of the work
- The times the site is available
- The condition of the system
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will explain what it covers.
What to send for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
Some systems can be priced from pictures; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in pictures, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Leaves Green
Multi-site operators often want one contractor and one number. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept to a regular schedule.
When the building owner and the occupier are different, the lease normally sets out who maintains what. We are happy to deal with either side, and the report can go to both.
