Extract fan repair in Well Head
Working on a fan in Well Head means switching the extract off first, so we plan it around your service. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. If you have poor airflow at the canopy and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, we can help.
In a small place like Well Head, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
It’s worth checking any contractor’s accreditations. We’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, with full insurance on top.

How the job changes from site to site
Belt-driven fans
Belt-driven fans have a motor that turns the impeller through belts and pulleys. Belts wear, stretch and slip, and pulleys and bearings need checking too.
Direct-drive fans
An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Cleaning it can cure the noise as long as the bearings are still sound.
Multi-site and managed buildings
Running several sites is easier with one contractor. We cover South East England and London, so a run of sites can go into one programme and kept on a regular cycle.
Whether it’s one building or many, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Well Head
Can you get to a site in Well Head?
Yes, Well Head is part of our area, however small the site. A survey first, from pictures or a visit, means we arrive with the right kit.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Well Head?
Well Head is covered, and our emergency callout runs 24/7. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you repair a fan rather than replace it?
We look at repairing it first. If the fan is past saving, a replacement may be more sensible and we will tell you the reasons.
Are you accredited?
Our accreditations are CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
We can. We fit replacement fans as well as repairing old ones, and we will explain the options.
How much notice should we give?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Mention your preferred dates with your enquiry, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.

- Working hours and out-of-hours timing

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why every job is surveyed first, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
Why act early in Well Head
A fan that’s running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. It’s simpler to plan the work at Well Head now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: how much there is, how we reach it, what state it’s in and when we can work. Call for a fixed quote and we’ll go through it with you.
Why book with us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Evenings, overnight and weekends, plus 24/7 emergency callout
- We diagnose before we treat
- A written report with pictures after each visit
Honest limits
Some problems need a different service or another trade:
- Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
If in doubt, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will say what we think before you book.
