Extract fan repair for sites in Stoke

What affects the cost of extract fan repair

Sites vary more than people expect. The main factors:

  • Site rules, permits and inductions
  • The number of sites or systems
  • The condition we find in the survey
  • The scale of the work

Putting the work off seldom saves money. Build-up, wear and faults tend to get worse, not better, which can make the next visit longer. If you are not sure what’s needed, give us a ring on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email and we’ll give you an honest view and a fixed quote.

What to send for a quote

Photos let us diagnose from a distance. Try to include:

  • Anything you’ve noticed, such as smells, noise, drips or poor airflow
  • Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
  • The site address and the type of premises
  • When the site is open and when it’s quiet

Every quote begins with a look at the system, either from photos and details you send or from a site visit. After that, you get a fixed price for the work, before any work starts.

Extract fan repair in Stoke, done properly

Working on a fan in Stoke 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. Common call-outs are for a motor that trips out or overheats and a fan worn beyond sensible repair, on fan housings, roof and wall fans and bearings.

In a small place like Stoke, fans are often on an outside wall or roof, open to wind and rain. That, with the grease, is hard on motors and bearings.

We are 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.

When it’s something else

We’ll always give you a straight diagnosis, so here’s what this work can’t put right:

  • Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
  • An extract system that was undersized from the start
  • Wiring and supply faults beyond the fan itself

If you are not sure, just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we’ll give you a straight answer before booking.

Parts of the system we cover

  • Bearings
  • Fan motors
  • Belts and pulleys
  • Fan housings
  • Roof and wall fans
  • Kitchen extract fans

What happens if it’s left?

Weak extraction leaves heat, smoke and fumes in the kitchen. The kitchen becomes an uncomfortable place to work, and more grease settles where it shouldn’t. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.

When the work has to happen, how we reach it and how big the site is all affect the cost. Each of those is built into the quote, and the price is fixed before any work starts.

What you get with us

  • We are fully insured
  • Fixed quotes, typically within one working day
  • Photo reports with every job
  • We diagnose before we treat

What your team can do, and what needs us

Your own staff can handle the daily basics: 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, which is where we come in.

Keep a record of what your team does. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.

Questions from Stoke

Can you work in Stoke outside opening hours?

Yes, evening, overnight and weekend work is normal for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Stoke needn’t be disturbed. Your opening times are the first thing we ask for.

Is Stoke within the area you cover?

Yes, smaller places are covered as well as towns. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Are you accredited?

We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, and we’re a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. The Vent Hygiene Elite scheme is run by BESCA and audited independently.

Will you fit a new fan if ours cannot be repaired?

Yes. Where a fan is beyond repair, we replace it with one suited to the duct and the kitchen, and you get a fixed quote first.

Why is our extract fan so noisy?

An unbalanced, greasy impeller vibrates and that’s one of the most common reasons. Bearings, belts and mountings can also be to blame.

How much notice do you need?

Earlier is better, especially for out-of-hours work. We normally quote within one working day, and there’s a 24/7 line for emergencies.

Which kinds of sites do you work on?

All kinds of commercial and public premises: kitchens, offices, schools, healthcare, retail, leisure and food production. We fit the work around how the site operates.

Is it worth cleaning the extract while you’re fixing the fan?

A fan repair on its own doesn’t include the ductwork. We will point out grease where we find it and quote for a TR19 clean if it’s needed.

Between visits

Once we have finished, these simple steps help:

  • Make sure the isolator and controls are easy to reach
  • Avoid lowering the speed to quieten a fault
  • Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
  • Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank

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.

The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.

What the work involves, part by part

Fan controls

Speed controllers and isolators sit between the supply and the fan. A control fault can leave the fan dead or stuck at one speed.

Impellers and housings

The impeller is the bladed wheel that moves the air. Grease on it throws it out of balance and make it shake.

Extract fans in Stoke

Stoke is within about 1 mile of the coast. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. Food Standards Agency data counts about 8 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens in Stoke and the streets around it, up to about 1.5 miles out. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. It’s Havant council that sends environmental health officers to food businesses in Stoke. A kitchen with no working extract can fall short of the suitable and sufficient ventilation food hygiene rules expect. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.

If you look after a church or hall kitchen near Church of St Peter, or anywhere in Stoke, test the extract fan before a big event rather than on the day. For school kitchens, at schools like The Hayling College for example, a planned fan repair in the holidays avoids losing lunches in term time.

The process

Before we leave, we walk the area with whoever is on site. We point out anything that couldn’t be reached or needs a follow-up, and the same goes into the written report. The visit takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Pictures of the system and its access let us plan the work in Stoke before we set off.

  1. We agree a time to attend, out of hours if needed.
  2. The extract is switched off and the fan opened up.
  3. Bearings, drive, impeller, motor and mounts are inspected.
  4. You hear whether repair or replacement makes sense, with a fixed quote.
  5. We complete the work and check the fan runs smoothly.

How to prepare

  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
  • Tell us the best time to work, such as after service or at a weekend
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
