FAQs for Stanwell Moor
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Stanwell Moor out of hours?
We run a 24/7 emergency line for failed extract fans, and Stanwell Moor is part of our area. Use 0345 646 2711, our emergency number, at any time. If you can, stop cooking until the fan is checked.
Can you work in Stanwell Moor outside opening hours?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. It means the site in Stanwell Moor keeps running as normal. Just call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we’ll plan around them.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It sets out inspection, cleaning and record keeping, and it takes a risk-based approach.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and waste is contained as we go. At the end, the area is cleaned down.
What causes a noisy extract fan?
Common causes are grease on the impeller, worn bearings, slipping belts and loose mountings. Each sounds a little different, and we diagnose it on site.
Can you look after several sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What do you do with what you remove?
It leaves the site with us when we go. During the work, it’s contained to keep the area clean.
Will I get paperwork for my records?
Yes. It’s the record insurers and inspectors ask to see: a written, dated record with pictures of what we did and anything we couldn’t access.
About our extract fan repair in Stanwell Moor
Everything a kitchen extract does depends on the fan. When it starts to rattle, hum or slow down, the cooking area soon fills with heat and fumes. Our engineers track down the fault and fix it with a repair or a replacement. We’re often asked to deal with vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts and an extract fan that rattles or knocks, across bearings, belts and pulleys and kitchen extract fans.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
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, and we’re fully insured.

What staff can safely do
A few tasks are always specialist work: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping down canopy surfaces, cleaning filters and keeping a simple log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
When it’s something else
We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
Not sure which it is? You can call us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email and we’ll tell you honestly.
What the work covers
- Fan housings
- Belts and pulleys
- Roof and wall fans
- Kitchen extract fans
- Fan motors
- Bearings
What we are called out for in Stanwell Moor
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure and that is a common source of rattles.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- An overheating extract motor
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
- A dead fan motor
If you manage a school such as Town Farm Primary School & Nursery and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

What we do, step by step
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. Anything unexpected is raised with you before we go further. From there, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Seeing the system in pictures first means the trip to Stanwell Moor can be planned properly.
- 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.
- We fix the fault and run the fan to check it.
How to prepare
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Clear the space around the work
- Dig out any earlier paperwork for the system
How to get a quote
Photos are the quickest way to a quote: the system from a couple of angles, plus any access panels or hatches. Tell us what kind of site it is and when it’s open, and we can price many jobs without a visit.
Related advice
Keeping the system healthy
No system stays clean for ever, but care slows the build-up. A few tips:
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
Clean filters help a repaired fan stay that way. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
Different parts, different methods
Motors and bearings
If the motor runs hot or keeps tripping, something’s wrong. The cause might be grease restricting the airflow, or the motor itself may be failing.
Fan controls
Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that is the cause, we’ll say so so you know who to call.
Extract fans in Stanwell Moor
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 53 restaurants, cafés and canteens and about 8 sandwich bars and takeaways across Stanwell Moor and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. It’s Spelthorne council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stanwell Moor. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off. About 18 miles out from central London, Stanwell Moor is part of the South East area we work across. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible.
If you run a café or takeaway near Heathrow Terminal 5 Rail station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for. If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Stanwell Moor, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.

Why deal with it now?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. Every hour of strain takes its toll and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. A fault that closes a site in a village like Stanwell Moor affects everyone who depends on it.
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
