Your questions about extract fan repair in Stoke-by-Nayland
Do you work at weekends in Stoke-by-Nayland?
Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. Your customers, staff or residents in Stoke-by-Nayland needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.
Who carries out food hygiene inspections in Stoke-by-Nayland?
In Stoke-by-Nayland, it’s Babergh council that carries out food hygiene inspections. Keeping the fan serviced is easier than explaining a broken one on inspection day.
What’s TR19?
It’s BESA’s specification and the benchmark insurers, fire officers and EHOs look to. It covers how systems are inspected, cleaned and checked, and it takes a risk-based approach.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. Every job is surveyed first, either from photos and details you send or on a site visit. A fixed quote follows.
How long does an extract fan repair take?
It depends on the fault, but as a guide it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. You will know more once we have found the fault.
What happens if you cannot reach some of it?
They’re marked on the report. Often the fix is extra access, such as new panels in ductwork, which we can install.
Can you set up regular visits?
Yes, of course. Send details of the systems and how they’re used and we will propose a schedule with a fixed quote.
Is repair an option before replacing the whole fan?
We look at repairing it first. Where the motor has burnt out or the fan is worn out, replacing it can be the better answer, and we will explain why.
How we handle extract fan repair in Stoke-by-Nayland
Kitchens in Stoke-by-Nayland call us about extract fans and motors that are noisy, slow or dead, we diagnose the fault and give you a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. For a fan that fails during service, there’s a 24/7 emergency callout. We are often asked to deal with a fan worn beyond sensible repair and poor airflow at the canopy, on bearings, belts and pulleys and fan motors.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.
We’re CHAS and SafeContractor accredited, we hold ISO 9001 and we are fully insured. We’re also a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease, and we have been trading since 2009.

Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Stoke-by-Nayland
The quote reflects the site in front of us. We take into account:
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site requirements such as sign-in and permits
- Access, including roofs, risers and ceiling voids
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and access to every part of it. You get a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
When you call or email, these details help:
- Any previous report or certificate
- When the site is open and when it’s quiet
- Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall
- Wide pictures of the system and the area around it
For a fixed quote, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form with the site type, your trading hours and a short description of the system. A few photos and your last certificate or report help a lot. You will usually have a quote within one working day.
What we are called out for in Stoke-by-Nayland
Not every problem is mechanical. Speed controllers, isolators and wiring can all fail, and a fan that will not start is not always a dead motor.
Most sites get in touch after spotting one of these:
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A fan shaking on its mountings
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A worn or slipping fan belt
Holidays are the time to replace a tired kitchen fan at schools such as Stoke-by-Nayland Church of England Primary School, rather than mid-term.
What your quote should include
- What happens if part of the system cannot be accessed
- When they can work, and whether that is outside your opening hours
- Whether the figure could change on the day
- Whether the whole system is included, or only the parts that are easy to reach

What happens on the day
There’s very little for your team to do on the day. A contact on site lets us in at the agreed time and points us to the system, and we take it from there. Before we leave, the area is tidied and the paperwork follows. Photos of the system and how to reach it help us plan a visit to Stoke-by-Nayland.
- First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
- Power to the fan is isolated before we open the housing.
- The impeller, bearings, belts or drive, motor and mounts are all inspected.
- You hear what’s wrong and what it will cost, with a fixed quote, before we go ahead.
- We fix or replace the fan, then test it running before we leave.
Getting ready for the visit
- Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Let us know about parking and loading
How to get a quote
There’s no standard price list, because no two systems are the same. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or email us.
Advice
When it’s something else
We will not sell you work that does not address the problem, so these are the things it won’t cover:
- Grease build-up in the rest of the extract system
- Ductwork designed too small for the kitchen’s cooking
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we will tell you honestly before booking.
Parts of the system we cover
- Fan motors

When a fan fails in Stoke-by-Nayland
At about 54 miles from central London, Stoke-by-Nayland sits well inside the area we cover. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. In Stoke-by-Nayland, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from Babergh council. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. So a failed fan is worth fixing before the next service, not the next month.
A fan that rarely runs, like one in a hall kitchen near St Mary's Church or elsewhere in Stoke-by-Nayland, can seize between uses.

Why it’s worth doing now in Stoke-by-Nayland
In kitchens with an interlocked gas supply, no extract can mean no cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. It’s worth booking a check, because nobody sees inside a duct day to day.
The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That’s why we survey first, from photos or on site, and the price is agreed before any work starts.
What you get with us
- A single point of contact for sites across the South East and London
- In business since 2009
- Fixed quotes from a survey or photos
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Keep the emergency number where staff can see it
- Book regular TR19 cleaning, which includes the fan
- Clean or change filters on schedule
- Note when the fan trips or cuts out
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
A scheduled maintenance plan keeps the whole system on a regular cycle, so the fan is looked at as part of each visit and problems are spotted sooner.
