Extract fan repair for kitchens and businesses in Stock
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance and the vibration wears out bearings and fixings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. Typical jobs include a squealing belt on start-up and poor airflow at the canopy, across fan motors, kitchen extract fans and bearings.
Somewhere as small as Stock, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. A failed fan stops the kitchen, and emergency callout is available 24/7, villages included.
We’ve been trading since 2009, as a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. We also hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we are fully insured.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Stock
Do you cover smaller places like Stock?
Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stock?
In Stock, it’s Chelmsford council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
How do you protect the area?
With sheeting and covers, before anything else happens. We keep the work contained and clean down when we finish.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. Send the list of sites and the work at each and you will get one fixed quote.
Do you have a 24/7 line?
Yes, any time. If something urgent happens, like a fan failing or damage after a fire, call our 24/7 line, and we’ll advise on what to do next.
What paperwork should we keep on file?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: reports, certificates, pictures and your own cleaning or check logs. A single log for each site works best.
Will you fit a new fan if ours can’t be repaired?
Yes, when repair doesn’t make sense. The replacement has to suit the ductwork and the cooking so we confirm that first.
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 happens if it’s left?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction isn’t sensible and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. In a small place like Stock, a system that fails can take a site out of use.
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos, and we’ll talk you through it.

Keeping the system healthy
Think of this as the after-treatment advice, in brief:
- Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Keep all filters fitted while cooking
- Don’t wait for a noisy fan to stop
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix, and anything else we noticed is pointed out.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and wear is caught earlier.
Landlords, agents and facilities managers
Whether it’s one building or many, you get the same standard: a survey first, a fixed quote, the work timed around the site and a report with pictures.
We regularly work with managing agents. Send the address, what’s needed and how access works and we’ll come back with a fixed quote.

Common problems we fix in Stock
Over the years, mountings loosen and rubber mounts break down. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- Vibration spreading from the fan into the ducts
- Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A worn or slipping fan belt
Hall kitchens near Church of All Saints, or anywhere around Stock, often use their fans only now and then, and an idle fan can stick.

Different parts, different methods
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Rust on fixings and housings is a frequent find.
Motors and bearings
An overheating motor is a warning sign. It may be straining against blocked filters or ducts or the motor may be near the end of its life.
What extract fan repair looks like in Stock
There are about 6 restaurants, cafés and canteens in and around Stock, up to about a mile and a half out, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Kitchens in Stock get their food hygiene inspections from Chelmsford council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. A kitchen without a working fan has a problem to fix quickly. At about 26 miles from central London, Stock sits well inside the area we cover. A survey and a fixed quote come first, then the visit at a time that suits you.
If you manage a school such as Stock Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.

The process
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, often in the evening, overnight or at the weekend so the site keeps working. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool first, and the area around the work is covered and protected. The work itself takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. A quick note on how to find the site and where to park makes a visit to Stock run smoothly.
- We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
- We isolate the extract and open the fan housing.
- We inspect every moving part and the fixings.
- You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
- We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.
How to prepare
- Have your last certificate or report to hand
- Name a contact who can let us in at the agreed time
- Mention any parking or loading restrictions
Getting a quote
Some systems can be priced from photos; others need a survey. Big or complicated sites, and systems that are hard to see in photos, get a survey first. Either way, you get a fixed price before work begins.
