About our extract fan repair in Peckham Bush
Diagnosis comes before parts. We look at the motor, the belts or direct drive, the impeller and the mountings and the speed control too. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. Common call-outs are for a fan that keeps cutting out and a humming noise from the fan motor, across bearings, fan motors and roof and wall fans.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Between visits
Looking after the system between visits is straightforward, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Don’t cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Don’t turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know rather than waiting for it to fail.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
Different parts, different methods
Fan controls
Where the fault is in the building’s electrical supply, an electrician is needed. If that’s the cause, we will say so so you know who to call.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
Common problems we fix in Peckham Bush
In Peckham Bush, as anywhere, long cooking days mean long hours for the fan. On belt-driven fans, belts stretch, crack and start to slip, so the fan squeals or turns more slowly.
Signs it’s time to call us include:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of the Holy Trinity, or anywhere in Peckham Bush, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.
Before booking anyone
- Whether the quote is based on a survey or pictures
- Which accreditations they hold, and whether you can check them
- Whether the quote shows VAT
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
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.
Staff cleaning and specialist work aren’t 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. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Extract fans in Peckham Bush
Look up Peckham Bush on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 6 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 3 takeaways and sandwich shops within about 1.5 miles of central Peckham Bush. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In Peckham Bush, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Tonbridge and Malling council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. About 28 miles out from central London, Peckham Bush is part of the South East area we work across. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like East Peckham Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.

The process
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. The timing of a visit to Peckham Bush is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- 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.
Before we arrive
