Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Slade Green
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Slade Green, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. 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 have a fan shaking on its mountings and a dead fan motor, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, roof and wall fans and bearings onwards.
For a London kitchen, a failed extract fan normally means the cooking stops. Fans in Slade Green are often on a roof or in a basement at the end of a long duct run, so access is the first thing we ask about.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. On top of that, we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, trading since 2009.

What extract fan repair can’t fix
In fairness, there are a few things this work won’t fix:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
Where we work
- Fan motors
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Bearings
How it works
There are three stages on the day: set-up, the treatment itself and the sign-off. Getting ready means protecting surfaces and switching off what needs to be off, and the sign-off is a written report with photos. Most of the time goes on the work itself, which takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. Expect the work in Slade Green to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- We take details of the symptoms and book a time that suits the kitchen.
- We isolate the fan before touching it.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Plan for cooking equipment or plant to be off before we arrive
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Clear loose items from the work area

Extract fans in Slade Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 71 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 67 takeaways and sandwich shops within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Slade Green. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning. Food hygiene inspections in Slade Green are the job of Bexley council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you cook near Slade Green station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St. Augustine's Church or elsewhere in Slade Green, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

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.
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding usually come from the bearings. We find out whether the bearings or the motor is at fault before recommending a fix.
Common problems we fix in Slade Green
Some grease always slips past the filters and reaches the fan. Deposits gather on the blades, never quite evenly, and an unbalanced impeller shakes and starts to vibrate and rattle.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as St. Paul's (Slade Green) Church of England Primary School or nearby, a fan that is getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.
What your quote should include
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach
- If they look at the system before pricing
- What paperwork you get at the end
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Multi-site and managed buildings
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
How we price extract fan repair
Every site gets its own quote. These are the things that affect it:
- Travel, parking and unloading
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- The number of sites or systems
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Helping us quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Useful things to send:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
- The site address and the type of premises
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
We don’t publish a price list, because every site is different. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To get going, call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Make sure the fan is cleaned with the rest of the system
Grease on the fan typically means grease in the duct as well. A full TR19® clean deals with the canopy, ductwork and fan together, with a certificate and photo report.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Slade Green
Can you work in Slade Green outside opening hours?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. Your customers, staff or residents in Slade Green needn’t be disturbed. Just ring 0345 646 2711, or email photos with your opening times and we will plan around them.
Does London parking affect a job in Slade Green?
Tell us where a van can stop near your site in Slade Green, and about any building rules on loading. Night visits tend to make loading easier on London streets.
Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Do you have insurance?
Yes, we’re fully insured. We also hold CHAS and SafeContractor, for sites that check contractor safety.
Which records should we keep?
The reports and certificates from each visit, plus your own logs. They’re what an insurer, fire officer or EHO may ask for, so keep them where they can be found quickly.
Are you accredited?
CHAS, SafeContractor, ISO 9001 and BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We’ve been trading since 2009 and we’re fully insured.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Repairing the fan doesn’t clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan normally means grease in the ducts and we can plan the two together.
Which sectors do you work in?
All kinds of commercial and public premises: from restaurants, pubs and hotels to schools, hospitals, care homes, offices, shops and food production sites. We fit the work around how the site operates.
