If you’re dealing with a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a humming noise from the fan motor, we can put it right, from kitchen extract fans, bearings and fan motors onwards.
For a fan repair in or near Upper Wellingham, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: pictures of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
Accreditations are easy to claim and worth checking. Ours are BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, plus CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re fully insured.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
If you look after several sites, we can schedule visits across all of them on one quote. Each site gets its own report and pictures, so records stay tidy.
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We work across London and the South East, so visits at different addresses can be planned together and kept on a regular cycle.
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.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.

Extract fan repair in Upper Wellingham: local notes
Food Standards Agency records list about 5 restaurants, cafés and works canteens across Upper Wellingham 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. Environmental health officers from Lewes council inspect food businesses in Upper Wellingham.

If you run a school kitchen, at a school such as Ringmer Community College and Sixth Form or nearby, a fan that’s getting noisy is best repaired in the holidays before it fails in term.

What else we do in Upper Wellingham
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, while signing off means the written report and pictures. Most of the time goes on the work itself, and that takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We agree a date with you, plan the drive to Upper Wellingham and turn up when the site is quiet.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that won’t start.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You get our diagnosis and a fixed quote to repair or replace.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
How to get a quote
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.

Honest limits
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It will not put right:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711 or email us and we’ll tell you honestly.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Upper Wellingham
Before we fix a price, we need to know a few things. We check:
- The times the site is available
- How many systems or sites are involved
- What state the system is in
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
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’ll explain each part.
Asking for a quote
When you contact us, it’s useful to have:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
Getting a quote does not take long. Call or email with a few details and you’ll typically have a fixed price within one working day. If we need to see the system first, we book a survey around your hours.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
If your staff spot something between visits, like drips, unusual noise, smells or damaged filters, it’s best reported rather than tackled in-house. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. That is our job.
Why deal with it now?
Vibration does damage beyond the fan. Fixings work loose and joints in the ductwork can be strained and the eventual repair is larger. If the system at a site near Upper Wellingham fails, there may be nowhere nearby to move to.
Putting the work off seldom saves money. Problems in a system tend to grow, and a neglected system can mean more work. If you’re not sure what’s needed, call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you an honest view and a fixed quote.
