In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Day-to-day cleaning is something your team can do: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. What they can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, which is where we come in.
Some jobs should never be done in-house: opening up ductwork, cleaning fans, drop testing fire dampers and measuring grease call for the right kit, training and safe access. Leave those to us.
How we handle extract fan repair in Stone Corner
We treat a failing fan much like a patient: listen to it, diagnose the fault, then treat it. What you want back is a fan that runs smoothly and a plain account of what we found. We’re often asked to deal with a knocking noise from the extract fan and a motor that trips out or overheats, on fan housings, fan motors and belts and pulleys.
Somewhere as small as Stone Corner, a kitchen extract fan might serve a pub, a school, a care home or a hall kitchen. When one fails, the cooking stops, and our 24/7 emergency line covers rural addresses too.
We have been trading since 2009, and we are a BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite member, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001 are in place too, and we carry full insurance.

Common problems we fix in Stone Corner
Fans everywhere, Stone Corner included, live in a hard environment: hot, greasy, damp air for hours on end. Condensation can corrode parts and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- An old fan that needs replacing
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A dead fan motor
- A fan rattling in its housing
Around Stone Corner, as anywhere, we look at why a fan failed as well as fixing it.
Questions to ask before booking
- Whether the work can be done while the site is closed
- Whether they’re fully insured
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
- If they look at the system before pricing

What affects the cost of extract fan repair
There’s no set price list, because no two systems are the same. What we look at:
- When the work can happen, such as evenings, overnight or weekends
- The condition we find in the survey
- How many systems or sites are involved
- Site rules, permits and inductions
You won’t find a price list here, because each job is priced on what it involves. For a fixed quote, call 0345 646 2711 or email us, and we will explain what it covers.
Asking for a quote
Before you ask for a quote, gather:
- Problems your staff have spotted
- Close-ups of filters, grilles, hatches or access panels
- Any previous report or certificate
- The roof, plant room or outside wall the system runs to
Quotes are quick. Call or email with a few details and you will normally have a fixed price within one working day. Where a survey is needed, we arrange a time that suits the site.
What happens if it’s left?
Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Without extraction, the heat and fumes build up fast and fixing the fan early avoids a forced shutdown. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
Whatever the type of site, the quote works the same way: the size of the job, access, condition and working hours. Call for a fixed quote and we will explain each part.

How the visit works
We start by comparing what we find with the survey or your pictures. If anything is different, we talk it through with the person on site before carrying on. From there, it 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 Stone Corner before we set off.
- We ask what the fan is doing, from noise and vibration to a full stop.
- With the fan safely isolated, we open it up for a proper look.
- We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
- We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
- Once the work is done, we run the fan and check it’s steady and quiet.
Getting ready for the visit
- Make sure equipment near the work can be switched off and left to cool
- Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
- Let us know about parking and loading

Related advice
Part by part
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans are often mounted on roofs or external walls. Access affects how long a repair takes, so we ask about it early.
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning will not help. It may need replacing, or the fan may need replacing as a whole.
FAQs for Stone Corner
Is there an emergency callout for extract fans in Stone Corner?
Day or night, a failed fan in Stone Corner can be reported on our emergency line. Ring 0345 646 2711 at any hour and describe the fault. Details of the make and model help us plan the repair.
Do you work at weekends in Stone Corner?
Yes, nights and weekends are routine for us. Your customers, staff or residents in Stone Corner needn’t be disturbed. Tell us your opening hours when you ask for a quote.
Is TR19 a legal requirement?
No. TR19® is BESA’s specification, not legislation. The law is the Regulatory Reform (Fire Safety) Order 2005, which makes the responsible person assess and reduce fire risk, and cleaning to TR19® is the recognised way to show grease is under control.
Can you tell me the price of a fan repair?
It depends on the fault, the parts and the access. We diagnose first and give you a fixed price so there are no surprises.
Do I get a report after the visit?
Yes. You get a written report with pictures after every visit, showing what was done, anything we couldn’t reach and when the next visit is due. Kitchen extract cleans to TR19® Grease also get a certificate through the BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite portal.
Are you fully insured?
Yes. We carry full insurance and have been trading since 2009.
Will we have to shut during the visit?
Not usually. We work when the area is out of use, such as evenings, overnight, early mornings or weekends, so the site can carry on as normal.
What does TR19 mean?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, while TR19® Air covers other supply and extract ductwork.
