How we handle extract fan repair in Wimbledon Chase
Our engineers handle all sorts of fan faults in Wimbledon Chase, from rattling and humming to a fan that has stopped dead. The fault is diagnosed, quoted at a fixed price and put right, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. If you have an extract fan that rattles or knocks and an extract fan that has stopped working, we can help, from fan housings, belts and pulleys and fan motors onwards.
In London, a kitchen without working extraction cannot keep cooking safely. In Wimbledon Chase, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so access is the first thing we ask about.
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.

What we do, step by step
When we arrive, we check the system against the survey or the pictures you sent. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. For a job in Wimbledon Chase, tell us about loading bays, permits, lifts and roof access when you book.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- You get a fixed price for putting it right.

Other services in Wimbledon Chase
Different parts, different methods
Belt-driven fans
With belts and pulleys, there’s more to wear. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning will not help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Extract fans in Wimbledon Chase
Food Standards Agency records list about 280 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 47 takeaways in and around Wimbledon Chase, up to about a mile and a half out. Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. A failed fan in a London kitchen typically means a closed kitchen, so access details help us plan the repair. It’s Merton council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Wimbledon Chase. 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.
For school kitchens, at schools like Wimbledon Chase Primary School for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Wimbledon Chase, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed. If you cook near Wimbledon Chase station, long trading hours wear fan belts and bearings, so noise and vibration are worth reporting early.

What affects the quote in Wimbledon Chase
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How big the system is
- The number of sites or systems
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- The condition of the system
The cost depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
A few details help us quote accurately. With your enquiry, please include:
- A few general shots of the system
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Your opening hours and when the area is out of use
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. You will normally have a quote within one working day.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Away from the kitchen, the in-house job is mainly checking: clear grilles, a log of filter changes and reporting anything odd. Cleaning inside ducts and units is specialist work.
When something else is needed
A few issues sit outside what this work can do:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Cooking smells reaching neighbours, which may need odour control
- Problems with the electrical supply to the fan (an electrician’s job)
Not sure which it is? You can give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will tell you honestly before you book.

Wimbledon Chase: your questions answered
Who inspects food businesses in Wimbledon Chase?
In Wimbledon Chase, it’s Merton council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Wimbledon Chase?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Wimbledon Chase is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we’ll talk through the fault and access. Tell us where the fan is and how to reach it.
What types of premises do you cover?
Restaurants and pubs, hotels, schools and colleges, hospitals and care homes, offices and retail, plus food production and leisure sites.
Can you supply and fit a replacement fan?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking before recommending a unit.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. We put a recommended next date on the report. For kitchen extracts, BESA’s minimum intervals run from every 3 months for heavy use to every 12 months for light use, and fire dampers need testing at least once a year.
Are you accredited?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
Who is the responsible person?
The Fire Safety Order 2005 calls them 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.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is the BESA specification for keeping ventilation systems clean. TR19® Grease, a standalone specification since 2019, covers grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
Why deal with it now?
In Wimbledon Chase, as elsewhere, an extract fan may well sit outside on a wall or roof, so its noise does not stay in the kitchen. Dealing with the fault brings the noise back down before it becomes a nuisance. It’s better booked as a planned job in Wimbledon Chase than handled as an emergency.
We don’t list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
