Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.
About our extract fan repair in Surrey Canal
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Sometimes cleaning the impeller or renewing worn parts is enough and we’ll say so. When a fan is worn beyond sensible repair, we fit a replacement matched to the duct and the kitchen. The work covers bearings, kitchen extract fans and roof and wall fans, and the jobs we see most are a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a motor that trips out or overheats.
Rooftop fans in London take the weather as well as the grease from below, and in time, bearings, belts and motors fail. A fan that is noisy or vibrating is giving a warning.
Every visit ends with a written report and photos, so you have a record of what was done and when. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, the certificate is issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Advice
Why act early in Surrey Canal
In Surrey Canal, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, where a rattle or a whine can be heard beyond the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before neighbours notice. London sites work long hours, and the longer a job is left, the bigger it gets.
One small site or a whole estate, we price it on the same basis: the work involved, the access and the timing. You will have a fixed price before we start.

Keeping the system healthy
Once we’ve finished, these simple steps help:
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and protects the motor.
Different parts, different methods
Impellers and housings
The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and make it shake.
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.
Surrey Canal questions
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Surrey Canal?
The local authority for Surrey Canal is Southwark council, and its environmental health team does the inspecting. An officer may ask how the kitchen is ventilated, so keep repair records with your maintenance file.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Surrey Canal?
Day or night, a failed fan in Surrey Canal can be reported on our emergency line. Call 0345 646 2711 and tell us what the fan is doing, or not doing. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Fire Safety Order 2005, the responsible person must reduce fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
What do you do with what you remove?
We contain it and take it with us. We collect grease, debris and waste water as we go, so it doesn’t spread.
What do you do to protect the area?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before we start, and waste is contained as we go. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, it’s the responsible person: normally the employer or whoever controls the premises. Landlords, facilities managers and managing agents can also hold responsibility.
Do we need to close while you work?
Not usually. We need the work area to ourselves while we’re on site, so we book a time when it would be closed anyway.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, always. Diagnosis comes before treatment: the survey tells us what the system needs and how to reach it and the fixed quote is built on it.
What we are called out for in Surrey Canal
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that’s a common source of rattles.
Look out for any of the following:
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A whining or grinding extract motor
For a takeaway near South Bermondsey station, a fan that fails on a busy evening means turning customers away, and our emergency line runs 24/7.
Before you book anyone

- What records you will receive afterwards
- Whether they recommend a next date
- What insurance they carry
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair will not touch
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
- A system that needs redesigning rather than repairing
If you’re not sure, just ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will give you a straight answer before you book.

Extract fan repair around Surrey Canal
Look up Surrey Canal on the FSA’s food hygiene register and you will find about 452 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 311 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Surrey Canal. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. It’s Southwark council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Surrey Canal. 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. London extract fans are often at the end of long duct runs, on roofs or in basements.
Hall kitchens near St Katharine with St Bartholomew, or anywhere around Surrey Canal, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick. School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Ilderton Primary School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
