Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
About our extract fan repair in Longlands
Wherever your kitchen is in Longlands, fan work means the extract has to be isolated, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. Evenings, overnight and weekends are all possible and there’s a 24/7 emergency line if the fan fails while you’re cooking. The work covers fan motors, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan shaking on its mountings and poor airflow at the canopy.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan usually means the cooking stops, and a closed kitchen loses a night’s trade. In Longlands, 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, with full insurance on top.

When to call us in Longlands
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. It builds up on the impeller blades unevenly, so the fan runs out of balance and the noise follows.
If you notice any of these, it’s worth a diagnosis:
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Longlands Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

Extract fan repair around Longlands
There are about 116 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 39 takeaways and sandwich shops within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Longlands, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Lifting a replacement fan onto a London roof can need a loading slot and the building’s agreement. In Longlands, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Bexley council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Christ Church or elsewhere in Longlands, can seize between uses. For a takeaway near New Eltham station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

FAQs for Longlands
Can you come to Longlands after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Longlands needn’t be disturbed. Just call 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
Is parking a problem for work in Longlands?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Longlands, and about any building rules on loading. If the building has a loading slot system, we will book into it.
What about areas you can’t get to?
The report shows them clearly. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
How do you protect the area?
By covering it before any work starts. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
How much does an extract fan repair cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. A belt and a new fan are very different jobs so the first step is a diagnosis.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, with visits at the interval your system needs. Each report recommends when the next visit should be.
Who is the responsible person?
It depends on the building. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, an FM or a managing agent.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
Grease on the fan usually means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together and you get a TR19 certificate and photo report afterwards.
Clogged filters make the fan strain. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
What a clean will not put right
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before booking.

What we do, step by step
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. We fit London jobs around the building rather than the other way round, so a visit in Longlands is usually out of hours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us where we can park and unload
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Find the previous report, if there is one

What your team can do, and what needs us
Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. That is our job.
