Extract fan repair in Welling
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. Once it turns noisy, sluggish or stops altogether, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. We find out why and put it right, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you have poor airflow at the canopy and a knocking noise from the extract fan, we can help.
In London, a kitchen without working extraction cannot keep cooking safely. Fans in Welling 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’ve been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we’re fully insured.

In-house cleaning or a specialist?
In-house cleaning and specialist cleaning do different jobs. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but grease that has passed the filters is out of reach. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but the parts you cannot see still need a specialist at the right interval.
What extract fan repair looks like in Welling
There are about 139 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 93 takeaways in Welling and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. We ask about access first for a London fan job, because roofs and basements need planning. Kitchens in Welling get their food hygiene inspections from Bexley council. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
If you manage a school such as Danson Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St John's Church or elsewhere in Welling, can seize between uses. For kitchens close to Welling station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7.

What affects the quote in Welling
We don’t publish a price list, because sites vary so much. What we look at:
- Whether it’s a one-off visit or part of a schedule
- How big the system is
- Whether we need access equipment or extra panels
- Any permits to work or inductions
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. We take each of them into account, and the price is fixed before we start.
What we need to know
A few details help us quote accurately. When you get in touch, it helps to send:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Any previous report or certificate
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
To get a fixed quote, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will typically have a quote within one working day.
Keeping the system healthy
To keep the system working properly between visits:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Keep an ear on the fan after the repair. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Keeping records across a portfolio is half the battle. Each visit ends with a dated report and pictures, so you can show an insurer or inspector what was done at each site.
We work for landlords, managing agents and facilities managers as well as the people running the site. Where a system serves more than one tenant, such as a shared riser, it helps to agree who arranges the work, and we can quote for the whole system.
How the visit works
A visit follows the same order every time: sheeting and protection first, make the system safe, carry out the extract fan repair, clear away and hand over the paperwork. The visit itself takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Expect the work in Welling to happen after your last customer leaves, not during trading.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
Getting ready for the visit
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Arrange a key holder or contact on site
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool

What else we do in Welling
What extract fan repair cannot fix
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
Not sure which it is? You can ring 0345 646 2711 or email us and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Fan housings
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
Why act early in Welling
Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. A booked night’s work in Welling costs you no trading time; an unplanned closure does.
Kitchens, offices, schools and hospitals are all priced the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Ask for a fixed quote and we will go through it with you.
Why book with us
- Fixed quotes from a survey or pictures
- One contact for all your sites in London and the South East
