About our extract fan repair in Stocker's Head
Diagnosis comes before parts. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked and the speed control too. Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. If you have a fan rattling in its housing and an extract fan that has stopped working, we can put it right.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. For TR19® Grease cleans, the certificate comes through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal and sits alongside the report.

Why deal with it now?
An overloaded motor is under constant strain. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Early attention keeps the cost and disruption down. It’s simpler to plan the work at Stocker's Head now than to arrange it in a hurry later.
What you pay depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before work begins, so you know where you stand.

Staff cleaning versus specialist work
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they cannot safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that’s where we come in.
Staff cleaning does not replace a specialist visit; it supports it. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Between visits
After the visit, a few habits help the work last:
- Get a noisy fan checked rather than slowed down
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Report new noises from the fan early
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. Less grease on the impeller means less wear and fewer faults.
A 3, 6 or 12-monthly cleaning plan brings us back at set intervals, which means the fan is seen regularly and problems are spotted sooner.
Questions from Stocker's Head
Can you come out to a failed extract fan in Stocker's Head out of hours?
Extract fan emergencies in Stocker's Head are covered around the clock. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Let us know whether the fan is silent, noisy or tripping the power.
Can you get to a site in Stocker's Head?
Yes, Stocker's Head is part of our area, however small the site. Photos of the system and directions to the site help us plan the visit.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes. Every visit ends with a written report and photos, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Where the work is a TR19® Grease clean, there’s also a certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Which sectors do you work in?
Any commercial site with kitchens or ventilation, from a single café to a large school. Hotels, schools, care homes, offices, shops and leisure sites are all part of our work.
Do you work with multi-site operators?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so we can schedule a run of sites as one programme. Each site gets its own report and photos.
What’s TR19?
It’s the industry benchmark for cleaning ventilation and kitchen extract systems, written by BESA. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked and expects a risk-based approach.
What should go in our maintenance log?
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.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes. Scheduled maintenance plans are part of what we do, with visits at the interval your system needs. The report from each visit recommends the next date.

The survey tells us what the work involves. We look at:
- Where the site is and how we reach it

What we need to know
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
- The postcode and the type of business
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- Wide photos of the system and the area around it

What we’re called out for in Stocker's Head
Not every problem is mechanical. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail so we check the controls before blaming the motor.
The symptoms we are asked about most include:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan worn beyond sensible repair
- An extract fan that has stopped working
- A humming noise from the fan motor
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near Church of St Peter and St Paul or elsewhere in Stocker's Head, can seize between uses.
Questions to ask before you book
- Proof of accreditation you can verify
- Whether the price is fixed
- Proof of insurance
- Whether a written report and pictures are included
When it’s something else
We’d rather tell you now than book work that will not help, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- 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 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will tell you honestly before booking.

- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
