Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Stanwell
Across Stanwell, we deal with fan faults of every kind, from a squeal at start-up to a fan that will not run at all. We find the cause, give you a fixed price and fix it, or the fan is replaced if repair does not make sense. The work covers fan housings, kitchen extract fans and belts and pulleys, and the jobs we see most are a humming noise from the fan motor and a fan that keeps cutting out.
Kitchens around a smaller place like Stanwell often have fans fitted to a wall or roof years ago. An older fan that fails may be better replaced than repaired, and we’ll explain the options.
The paperwork matters as much as the work. You get a written report with pictures after each visit, covering the work done, any areas we couldn’t access and a recommended next date. File it in your maintenance log so it’s to hand when an insurer or inspector asks.

Extract fan repair in Stanwell: local notes
There are about 83 restaurants, cafés and works canteens and about 12 takeaways within 1.5 miles or so of the middle of Stanwell, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. At about 17 miles from central London, Stanwell sits well inside the area we cover. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included. In Stanwell, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Spelthorne council. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly.
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Stanwell Fields CofE Primary School, rather than mid-term. Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Church of St Mary or elsewhere in Stanwell, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

What else we do in Stanwell
Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Noise from an outside fan can carry beyond the kitchen. It’s often down to loose mounts or worn bearings.
Direct-drive fans
Direct-drive fans have the impeller mounted straight on the motor. With no belts to wear, we look at the motor, bearings and impeller.
Leave it or put it right?
Some kitchens run a noisy fan on a lower speed to cut the noise. That reduces extraction without fixing anything, and the fault carries on developing. Diagnosing the fault properly is the lasting answer. You choose the date of a planned visit, and a breakdown never asks.
Working hours, access and the scale of the site all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before we start.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Staff cleaning and specialist work are not the same thing. A daily filter wipe and a weekly filter wash keep grease down at the front of the system, but they don’t reach the grease that builds up further in. That part needs specialist access and equipment.
A few tasks are always specialist work: entering ducts, working on fans, testing dampers and taking grease readings need training, the right equipment and safe access. Leave those to us.
Managing agents and facilities teams in Stanwell
From a single site to a large estate, the standard is the same: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with photos.
Managing agents often deal with us directly. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.
What happens on the day
Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. Anything we couldn’t reach or that needs attention is pointed out there and then, and it goes on the report too. The visit takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. For a place like Stanwell, we load the van from the survey notes so the work can be done in one visit where possible.
- We start with the symptoms, such as rattling, humming, slow running or a fan that will not start.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Preparing for the visit
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

Advice
How we price extract fan repair
You’ll get a fixed price before work begins. It takes into account:
- How big the system is
- Travel, parking and unloading
- How easy every part is to reach
- The condition we find in the survey
We do not list prices on the website, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we’ll explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Many jobs can be priced from pictures and some basics. Send what you can of the following:
- Your last certificate, test record or report
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
- Any access panels or hatches you can see
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
We do not publish a price list, because no two systems are the same. We look at your system first, from photos or on a visit, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711, or send details by email.
Keeping the system healthy
Here’s the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Never run the extract with filters missing
- Keep the fan on a planned cleaning cycle
- Report new noises from the fan early
- Clean or change filters on schedule
If the fan had grease on it, the rest of the system almost certainly does too. We can book a TR19® clean of the whole extract, with a certificate and photo report.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance, so planned cleaning helps the fan last.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Stanwell
Which environmental health team covers Stanwell?
Food hygiene inspections in Stanwell are carried out by Spelthorne council. Inspections are risk-based, so a visit can come at any time, including the week a fan stops.
Do you work in villages like Stanwell?
Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stanwell included. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
Do you offer emergency callouts?
Yes. For anything urgent, such as a fan failure or damage after a fire, ring the 24/7 line, and we will advise on what to do next.
Do we need to close the kitchen for fan work?
The fan has to be isolated while we work on it, so the kitchen cannot cook under it. We book the work outside your service times wherever possible.
Which records should we keep?
Anything that proves the system is maintained: our reports and pictures, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
Is there help out of hours when the extract fails?
Call our 24/7 emergency line. We’ll take the details and get an engineer to you as quickly as possible.
How much notice do you need?
That depends on the slot you want and the size of the job. Tell us your preferred dates when you ask for a quote, and if it’s an emergency, call us any time.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
The price depends on the diagnosis. After we’ve checked the fan, we give you a fixed price for the repair or the replacement.
