Extract fan repair in Great Stonar
Not every failed fan needs replacing. Often a clean, a new belt or new bearings brings it back and we will say so. Where the motor has burnt out or the unit is past saving, a replacement suited to the system goes in. The work covers fan motors, roof and wall fans and kitchen extract fans, and common reasons people get in touch are a dead fan motor and a fan rattling in its housing.
For a fan repair in or near Great Stonar, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, and for TR19® Grease cleans, a certificate issued through the BESCA VHE portal. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

What happens if it’s left?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Bearings that are left to wear can fail suddenly and the fan may stop when you’re busiest. Sorting it while it still runs is far easier to plan. Systems in rural buildings are often out of sight and out of mind.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from photos or on site, and why the quote is fixed before any work starts.

Landlords, agents and facilities managers
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: the system surveyed, the price fixed, the visit fitted around trading and everything written up afterwards.
The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty to manage fire risk on the responsible person, and that can be the employer, the owner, a landlord, a facilities manager or a managing agent. Where responsibility is shared, records matter even more.
What staff can safely do
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, and that’s where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Regular in-house cleaning slows the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
What extract fan repair looks like in Great Stonar
Great Stonar is within about 2 miles of the coast. Near the sea, fans mounted outdoors corrode faster, and corroded fans tend to get noisy before they fail. There are about 24 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 6 takeaways within roughly a mile and a half of the centre of Great Stonar, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. For any of them with a canopy, the extract fan is what keeps the kitchen usable. It’s Dover council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Great Stonar. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
If you manage a school such as Sandwich Infant School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it. If you look after a church or hall kitchen near St Mary's Church, or anywhere in Great Stonar, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day.

FAQs for Great Stonar
Do you work in villages like Great Stonar?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Can you come to Great Stonar after we close?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The site is handed back ready to open. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Is there a survey before the work?
Yes, every time. We diagnose before we treat: the survey shows what needs doing and what access we need, and the quote is based on that.
Does the report say when we need you again?
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, while fire dampers are tested at least annually.
Does the law say we must follow TR19?
No. The law sets the duty, and TR19® is the recognised benchmark for meeting it. Under the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, the responsible person has to manage fire risk, and without records, many insurers may refuse or reduce a claim.
How long will the fan be out of action?
That depends on what’s wrong, but most jobs take a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. You’ll know more once we have found the fault.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, and TR19® Grease cleans come with a certificate through the BESCA VHE portal. Keep it in your maintenance log.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
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.

Looking after it afterwards
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine right away
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
Once we are done, the extract is back in service. We leave the area tidy and talk you through what we found.
A fan that is starting to make noise is giving you a warning. Getting it checked now means a planned repair rather than an emergency during service.
What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your photos. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. After that, the work takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Visits to a village like Great Stonar are booked in advance, at a time that suits whoever runs the site.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- The fan is repaired or replaced, then checked running.
How to prepare
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
- Clear loose items from the work area
