FAQs for Luxted
Can you work in Luxted outside opening hours?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Luxted needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
How do you handle parking and loading in Luxted?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. Where restrictions apply in the day, an evening or overnight visit typically gets round them.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. It’s your proof that the work was done: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
Can we book visits on a schedule?
Yes. We run scheduled maintenance contracts, set at the interval the system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
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 happens if you can’t reach some of it?
We record them on the report, with a note of where it is, and we explain what access is needed, such as extra access panels in ductwork.
Extract fan repair in Luxted
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. The work covers fan motors, roof and wall fans and fan housings, and the jobs we see most are an old fan that needs replacing and a fan rattling in its housing.
Rooftop fans in London take the weather as well as the grease from below, and bearings, belts and motors wear out in the end. A fan that’s noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
The report is your system’s health record: dated, with photos, and showing what was done. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

Why deal with it now?
A noisy fan rarely fixes itself. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly and the fan may stop when you are busiest. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Leaving it on a busy London site only adds to the work.
Several systems or sites on one quote often makes better use of the time. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at and we’ll price it together.

Honest limits
Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we’d rather say so up front. It won’t put right:
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If you are not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will give you a straight answer.

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The times the site is available
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- The condition we find in the survey
Every site is different, so we price each one individually. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.
What we need to know
We can often survey from pictures. The most useful are:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any previous report or certificate
- Problems your staff have spotted
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.
When to call us in Luxted
Bearings wear out with heat and long hours. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A humming noise from the fan motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
For school kitchens, at schools like Cudham Church of England Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.
What to look for in a quote
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Whether they recommend a next date
- Whether inaccessible sections are listed on the report
Between visits
Here’s the after-treatment advice, short and simple:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and fewer faults.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Changing or cleaning them on time takes load off the motor and helps prevent overheating.
When a fan fails in Luxted
Look up Luxted on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 14 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 10 takeaways and sandwich shops in and around Luxted, up to about a mile and a half out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Lifting a replacement fan onto a London roof can need a loading slot and the building’s agreement. Food hygiene inspections in Luxted are the job of Bromley council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Luxted, can seize between uses.

How it works
Your trading hours come first. We book the visit for a time the area is closed, whether that’s an evening, overnight or a weekend. When the team arrives, the work area is protected and the relevant equipment is switched off to cool, and the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Expect the work in Luxted to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit

Advice
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
An external fan faces the weather as well as the grease. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
