- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site rules, permits and inductions

- The paperwork from the last visit, if you have it

Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Selhurst
Across Selhurst, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that won’t run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair doesn’t make sense. If you are dealing with a motor that trips out or overheats and a knocking noise from the extract fan, we can put it right.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan typically means the cooking stops, and a closed kitchen loses a night’s trade. In Selhurst, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so access is the first thing we ask about.
The sign-off is always in writing: a written report, dated and illustrated with photos, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Keeping the system healthy
Aftercare is simple, and it makes the next visit easier:
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We clear up after ourselves and talk you through what we found.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.

When to call us in Selhurst
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Keep an eye out for these warning signs:
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A fan rattling in its housing
If you run a café or takeaway near Norwood Junction station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.

Extract fan repair in Selhurst: local notes
Look up Selhurst on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you’ll find about 238 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 182 takeaways and sandwich shops across Selhurst and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Food hygiene inspections in Selhurst are the job of Croydon council’s environmental health team. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. Getting the fan running again is the priority. Lifting a replacement fan onto a London roof can need a loading slot and the building’s agreement.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as St Mark's Church of England Primary Academy, rather than mid-term. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mark or elsewhere in Selhurst, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Multi-site and managed buildings
For anyone managing more than one site, we can plan visits across the whole estate and price them together. Each site gets its own report and photos, so each one has its own record.
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person must assess and reduce fire risk, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, FM or managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What we do, step by step
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. It takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In Selhurst, as across London, we typically work overnight or at weekends and hand the site back ready to open.
- 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.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids

Related advice
What happens if it’s left?
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything while the underlying wear continues. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. In Selhurst, a planned overnight visit is much easier than closing unexpectedly.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.

Selhurst questions
Do you work overnight in Selhurst?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. The site is handed back ready to open. When you call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email, mention when the site is quiet.
Which council inspects kitchens in Selhurst?
In Selhurst, it’s Croydon council that carries out food hygiene inspections. A note of when the fan failed and when it was fixed shows the problem was dealt with.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it, and the quote is based on that.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. Insurers, fire officers and EHOs may all ask to see them, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
That depends on what we find. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired, then send you a fixed quote.
Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. If there’s grease on the fan, a full TR19® clean is worth booking, and we can arrange both.
What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance and that is one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
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.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that won’t come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
