Extract fan repair in New Addington, done properly
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings, along with the fan’s controls. Then you are given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. Common call-outs are for vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and a dead fan motor, on belts and pulleys, fan motors and kitchen extract fans.
In London, a kitchen without working extraction can’t keep cooking safely. Fans in New Addington are often on a roof or in a basement at the end of a long duct run, so we ask about access first.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so there’s a dated record of the work. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

The process
A visit follows the same order every time: protect the area, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, tidy up and leave you the report. The visit itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. In New Addington, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any sign-in, permit or induction we need
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
Do you need extract fan repair in New Addington?
Fan bearings don’t last for ever, especially in a hot, greasy airstream. As they wear, you hear a whine or a rumble and a seized bearing stops the fan.
Most sites get in touch after spotting something like this:
- A belt-driven fan that squeals
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- An overheating extract motor
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Rowdown Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
Questions to ask before booking
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the figure could change on the day
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
The motor and its bearings work hardest. Hot, greasy air and long days wear them down.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans are compact and common in kitchen extracts. If the motor has gone, a replacement unit is often the sensible option, and we will explain why.
Staff cleaning versus specialist work
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but the parts you can’t see still need a specialist at the right interval.
Extract fan repair around New Addington
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 15 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 16 sandwich bars and takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central New Addington. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange. Environmental health officers from Croydon council inspect food businesses in New Addington. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
Hall kitchens near St Edward King and Confessor, or anywhere around New Addington, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

FAQs for New Addington
Can parking be tricky for a job in New Addington?
We plan it in advance, so let us know about loading bays, permits and access rules at the building. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in New Addington out of hours?
New Addington is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on, so it doesn’t spread.
What happens if you can’t reach some of it?
They’re listed in the report, never skipped quietly. The report says which parts couldn’t be reached and why, along with a quote to put access in.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No, not in itself. TR19® is the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs check against, and many insurance policies ask for proof of TR19® cleaning. The legal duty sits in the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which applies in England and Wales.
What does TR19 mean?
BESA’s ventilation hygiene specification in two main parts: TR19® Grease for kitchen extracts and TR19® Air for supply and extract systems. It is not legislation, but it’s the standard people check against.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need and the fixed quote is built on it.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
It can be one of a few things, including bearings, belts, grease and mounts. It’s worth having it diagnosed before the fault gets worse.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in New Addington
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We check:
- The condition of the system
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Any permits to work or inductions
Several systems or sites on one quote can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. It helps if you can send:

- The site address and the type of premises
- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it
Need a price for extract fan repair? Please call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and tell us about the site. We will explain what we’d do and send a fixed quote before anything is booked.
When it’s something else
Before you book, it helps to know what’s not included:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
If you’re not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.
What the work covers
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan motors
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Belts and pulleys
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. In a London building, a problem in a duct, damper or fan rarely stays in one unit.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
