Which tradesperson do I need? Food stench in bedroom above kitchen

[SmellyBedroom]

Having a sleepless night due to overwhelming food stench in bedroom directly about kitchen. This is a 2019 Bellway new build, and have always noticed food smells in the home and particularly strong smells in this bedroom but tonight is worse than ever despite hours with the window open now.

We naively assumed this was normal household smells but neighbours with same set up don’t report same issues at all. Don’t want to just blindly replace extractor in case it’s more of an installation issue.

Could it be blowing air behind the walls or into the ceiling void and then seeping in through gaps/light fitting? Instead of extracting outside? Who can we contact to investigate this?

Any advice, ideas or experience welcomed please

Thank you

Do you have a kitchen door? Do you close the door when cooking? Open plan cooking can make a house very smelly upstairs.

You need someone to check your extractor set up. Is it one that vents outside or recirculates?

What do you actually mean by 'overwhelming food stench'? What have you cooked tonight?

A handyperson who does kitchens would be able to look.
