Why act early in Wallington

About our extract fan repair in Wallington
Kitchens in Wallington call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. The work covers kitchen extract fans, bearings and roof and wall fans, and people most often call us about a knocking noise from the extract fan and a squealing belt on start-up.
Replacing a fan in a London building often means working at height or in a tight plant space, and in Wallington, parking and lifting are part of that. Work can be done after service, so the kitchen loses as little time as possible.
Insurers, fire officers and environmental health officers all look at records. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Questions from Wallington
Do you work overnight in Wallington?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The site is handed back ready to open. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Who do I call if an extract fan fails in Wallington?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Wallington is within the area we cover. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Are you accredited?
We are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.
What do you do with what you remove?
It’s contained and taken away. Grease, debris and waste water are collected as the work goes on rather than letting it spread.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. You deal with one contact for every site across London and the South East, and visits can be set on a regular cycle.
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. In shared or managed buildings, a landlord, facilities manager or managing agent can share the duty.
Which kinds of sites do you work on?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, as well as food production and leisure sites.
Is TR19 cleaning required by law?
No. The law sets the duty; TR19® is the benchmark used to show it’s met. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and many insurers can refuse or reduce a claim without proof of cleaning.
Extract fans in Wallington
There are about 122 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 92 sandwich bars and takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Wallington, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. Environmental health officers from Sutton council inspect food businesses in Wallington. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange.
School kitchens can’t easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Holy Trinity CofE Junior School, fix a failing fan before term starts. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of the Holy Trinity or elsewhere in Wallington, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. If you run a café or takeaway near Wallington station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.

How we price extract fan repair
Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- Where the site is and how we reach it
- Working hours and out-of-hours timing
- Whether several sites go on one quote
You will not find a price list here, because the cost depends on the site in front of us. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What we need to know
Photos let us diagnose from a distance. The most useful are:
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
For extract fan repair in Wallington, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote usually follows within one working day.
Honest limits
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what extract fan repair will not do:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we will tell you honestly.

What your team can do, and what needs us
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.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Keep the area around the fan controls clear
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Write down when the fan misbehaves
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.
A slipping belt or a loose mount is a small job. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures so early attention pays.
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow or the motor may be near the end of its life.
Belt-driven fans
In a belt-driven fan, the motor drives the impeller by belt. Worn belts squeal and slow the fan down, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
The process
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, isolate whatever needs isolating, do the work, tidy up and leave you the report. On site, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Night and weekend working is normal for us in London, and a site in Wallington is no exception.
- 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.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Before we arrive
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Clear loose items from the work area
How to get a quote
Quoting starts with a diagnosis, from your pictures and details or, where that is not enough, a survey on site. After that, you get a fixed price for the work so you know the cost before we start.
