It’s time to book a visit if you see:
- A fan rattling in its housing
- A failed fan that needs a replacement
- Poor airflow at the canopy
- A fan that keeps cutting out
If you run a café or takeaway near Hildenborough station, a failed fan in the middle of service is exactly what our 24/7 emergency line is for.

Extract fan repair in Stocks Green
Working on a fan in Stocks Green means switching the extract off first, so the job is fitted around the kitchen’s hours. We can work in the evening, overnight or at the weekend, and a fan that dies mid-service can go straight to our 24/7 line. If you are dealing with a belt-driven fan that squeals and an extract that vibrates through the ductwork, we can help, from roof and wall fans, kitchen extract fans and bearings onwards.
A callout to a small place like Stocks Green goes better when we know what we’re looking at: photos of the fan, its rating plate and how to reach it all help.
For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and photos, and grease extract cleans come with a TR19® certificate issued through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.

Leave it or put it right?
A struggling motor runs hotter and works harder. That shortens its life and a burnt-out motor is a bigger job than a worn belt. Catching it early keeps the repair small. In a place like Stocks Green, ductwork and fans are easy to forget until something goes wrong.
No two sites are the same, so we price each one individually. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.
What you get with us
- We are fully insured
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover
- Ventilation hygiene specialists since 2009

Extract fan repair around Stocks Green
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 8 restaurants, cafés and canteens across Stocks Green and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Those that cook under a canopy rely on a fan that runs every hour they’re open. Food hygiene inspections in Stocks Green are the job of Tonbridge and Malling council’s environmental health team. Under food hygiene rules, a kitchen needs suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority. Stocks Green, about 24 miles from central London, is within our usual area. Visits are booked around your hours, evenings and weekends included.
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near Parish Church of St John or elsewhere in Stocks Green, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Looking after it afterwards
Good habits slow the build-up between visits. A few tips:
- Do not turn the fan down to hide a noise
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Report new noises from the fan early
Once the fan is running smoothly, keep the filters clean. The less grease that reaches the fan, the longer its parts last and the quieter it runs.
When filters block, the fan works harder. Keeping filters clean eases the strain and helps prevent overheating.
Part by part
Belt-driven fans
Belt drives have more moving parts than direct-drive fans. More parts to inspect, but many faults are straightforward to fix.
Impellers and housings
Grease settles inside the fan housing as well as on the blades. Both are inspected and cleaning may be part of the fix.
What happens on the day
On the day, we arrive at the time agreed with you, which is often after service, overnight or at a weekend. Equipment that has to be off is switched off and allowed to cool before any work starts, and the area around the work is covered and protected. On site, it takes a few hours on site, depending on the fault and the access to the fan. In a small place like Stocks Green, the journey is planned ahead and the visit arranged around the site’s hours.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
- Each part is checked in turn: motor, bearings, drive, impeller and fixings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.
Before we arrive
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Let us know about parking and loading
- Let us know how we reach the system, including roofs, risers and plant rooms
How to get a quote
To get a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and tell us the type of site, your opening hours and roughly what the system looks like. Photos and the last report, if you have one, make the quote quicker. We usually come back within one working day.

What a clean will not put right
Extract fan repair cannot fix everything, and we will tell you before we start. It won’t put right:
- Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Problems with the gas supply or its interlock valve
If you’re not sure, just call 0345 646 2711 or drop us a line and we will give you a straight answer.
What the work covers
- Belts and pulleys
- Fan motors
- Bearings
- Roof and wall fans
- Fan housings
- Kitchen extract fans
How we price extract fan repair
A fixed price needs a few facts first. We look at:
- Site rules, permits and inductions
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The size of the system
- The condition we find in the survey
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. Call for a fixed quote, and we will talk you through it.
What to send for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
- How we’d reach plant on a roof or in a plant room
- Where the site is and what kind of site it is
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
The quickest way to a quote is to send photos: 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.

Your questions about extract fan repair in Stocks Green
Do you cover smaller places like Stocks Green?
Yes, Stocks Green 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 work at weekends in Stocks Green?
Yes, we can come after you close and finish before you open. That way a site in Stocks Green does not have to lose a day’s trading. Let us know the hours you are closed and we will book within them.
Are you fully insured?
Yes, we’re fully insured. CHAS and SafeContractor accreditation sit alongside it, for sites that check contractor safety.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
Every fan job is priced once we know the fault. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently, so call us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll arrange a diagnosis.
Do you provide a certificate or report?
Yes, always. The report is dated and includes photos, plus a certificate via the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal for TR19® Grease cleans. File it with your fire safety records.
Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?
Repairing the fan does not clean the canopy or ducts. Grease on the fan normally means grease in the ducts, and we can arrange both.
Can one contract cover all our sites?
Yes. We work across South East England and London, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.
What should go in our maintenance log?
Everything that shows the system is looked after: our reports and photos, any certificates and your in-house logs. One maintenance log per site keeps it simple.
