About our extract fan repair in Wimbledon
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the kitchen gets hot and smoky very quickly. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it, by repairing the fan or replacing it. If you have a squealing belt on start-up and an old fan that needs replacing, we can help, from fan motors, belts and pulleys and fan housings onwards.
In London, a kitchen without working extraction can’t keep cooking safely. In Wimbledon, as across London, fans often sit on a roof or deep in a plant space, so access is the first thing we ask about.
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, with full insurance on top.

Between visits
Simple habits between visits make a real difference. Our advice:
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Never run the extract with filters missing
Your kitchen can get back to normal as soon as the fan is running. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
When a fan fails in Wimbledon
Food Standards Agency data counts about 282 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 52 takeaways and sandwich shops across Wimbledon and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. In London, a fan on a roof or in a basement can take planning to reach, with parking and loading to arrange. In Wimbledon, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Merton council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St. Mark's Church or elsewhere in Wimbledon, can seize between uses. For kitchens close to Wimbledon station, a fan that stops mid-service needs fixing fast, and our emergency line runs 24/7. If you manage a school such as Wimbledon High School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

Common questions in Wimbledon
Which environmental health team covers Wimbledon?
Kitchens in Wimbledon are inspected by Merton council’s environmental health officers. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
Can parking be tricky for a job in Wimbledon?
London parking can be tight, so details of loading bays and permits help. If the building has a loading slot system, we’ll book into it.
Does the report say when we need you again?
Yes. How often depends on use and condition, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
It depends on the fault. After diagnosing, we explain whether it can be repaired and quote a fixed price for the option you choose.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The cost depends on what’s wrong and how easy the fan is to reach. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Do you look at the system first?
Yes. For many sites, photos and a few details are enough, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Regular plans can run on 3, 6 or 12-monthly cycles, depending on what the system needs.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. One number covers all your sites across London and the South East, with visits on a regular schedule.
What affects the cost of extract fan repair
The price is fixed before any work begins. It takes into account:
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- How many systems or sites are involved
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition of the system
Combining work into one visit or one programme can make for a more efficient booking. Tell us about everything you’d like looked at, and you will get one fixed quote.
What to send for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any previous report or certificate
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it
- Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
There’s no standard price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from photos or a survey, and then send you a fixed quote. To get going, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A dated log of in-house cleaning and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
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 will take a look and give you a fixed quote.
For landlords and multi-site operators
Records are where multi-site compliance often slips. Each visit produces a dated report with pictures, ready to show insurers, fire officers or EHOs.
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Why act early in Wimbledon
It can be tempting to turn the fan down to quieten it. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. A proper diagnosis in Wimbledon gets to the real cause. London buildings are shared, so a fire or failure in one system can reach the neighbours above and beside you.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site can all change the price. Each of those is built into the quote and give you a fixed price before any work starts.
Why us?
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001
- Every job surveyed first
- Each visit written up, with photos

What else we do in Wimbledon
Part by part
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.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. Access affects how long a repair takes and we plan around it.
