Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Stanmore
Kitchens in Stanmore call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and send you a fixed quote to repair or replace it. When the fan gives up mid-service, our 24/7 emergency line is there. The work covers roof and wall fans, fan housings and belts and pulleys, and common reasons people get in touch are an overheating extract motor and a belt-driven fan that squeals.
In a smaller place like Stanmore, a failed extract fan means a closed kitchen, and a closed kitchen loses trade. That’s what our 24/7 emergency callout is for.
The sign-off is always in writing: a dated report with pictures of the work, plus a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal when the work is a TR19® Grease clean. It shows what was done and what, if anything, couldn’t be reached.

Between visits
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. Our tips:
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
- Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Clean or change filters on schedule
Where parts need ordering, we explain what that means for the kitchen until we return. The fan is completed on a return visit outside your busiest hours.
Small faults, like a worn belt, are quick to fix. Ignored, they can lead to bigger failures, so it’s worth acting early.
What extract fan repair looks like in Stanmore
Food Standards Agency records list about 116 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 30 takeaways in and around Stanmore, up to about a mile and a half out. A kitchen with a dead extract fan gets hot and smoky fast, and kitchens like these feel it at once. It’s Winchester City council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stanmore. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That is one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Stanmore Primary School, rather than mid-term.

The process
Your staff don’t need to do much on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and the rest is down to us. Afterwards, the area is left tidy and the written report follows. Tell us about any gates, ladders or locked plant areas at your site near Stanmore when you book.
- A visit is booked, in the evening or overnight if that suits.
- 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.
Preparing for the visit
- Tell us about site rules, permits or sign-in
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Ask for a quote
For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few pictures and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
Related advice
What we are called out for in Stanmore
Some faults are in the controls rather than the fan. A failed speed controller or a wiring fault can stop a fan so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
These are the problems we see most often:
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- An overheating extract motor
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A dead fan motor
Hall kitchens near Saint Luke, or anywhere around Stanmore, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

What extract fan repair can’t fix
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we will tell you before work begins. It will not put right:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Gas interlock faults that a Gas Safe registered engineer must deal with
- Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
If you are not sure, just call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before you book.
Where we work
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Bearings
- Fan motors
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan housings
What happens if it’s left?
A fan that is running slowly is not clearing the kitchen properly. Staff work in hotter, steamier air and grease has more chance to settle on surfaces and in the duct. Booking now means the visit to Stanmore is planned around you, not forced by a breakdown.
Every site is different, so each one gets its own fixed quote. The size of the job, how we reach it, its condition and the working hours all make a difference.

- One number for every site across the South East and London
- CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, with ISO 9001
- BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease
- Trading since 2009

What your team can do, and what needs us
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 they do not reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
When your team notices a problem 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 send you a fixed quote.
Stanmore questions
Can you come to Stanmore after we close?
Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. The work in Stanmore can fit around your hours. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
What if my kitchen extract fan stops in Stanmore at night?
Our emergency line runs 24/7, and Stanmore is within the area we cover. Phone 0345 646 2711 and we will talk through the fault and access. A photo of the fan’s rating plate helps.
What happens to the waste?
It leaves the site with us when we go. While we work, it’s kept contained to keep the area clean.
Do you recommend a next date?
Yes. The interval depends on how much the system is used and what we find, and we explain the reasoning on the report.
What does TR19 mean?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping and expects a risk-based approach.
Who has the legal duty for fire safety?
The law calls them the responsible person. It’s normally the employer, or whoever controls the building, and where several people have control, each can have duties. If you’re not sure, check your lease and fire risk assessment.
Which sectors do you work in?
We work for restaurants, pubs, hotels, schools, colleges, hospitals, care homes, offices and shops, plus food production and leisure sites.
Why is our extract fan so noisy?
Grease on the blades throws the fan out of balance and that is one of the most common reasons. Worn bearings, belts and loose mounts are others.
