Extract fan repair and replacement in Stone Cross, East Sussex
Our technicians work in Stone Cross on repair and replacement of kitchen extract fans, fan motors and worn fan parts. Out-of-hours visits, a fixed quote and a written report with pictures as standard.
- A fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen
- A motor that trips out or overheats
- A fan shaking on its mountings
Do you need extract fan repair in Stone Cross?
Fixings and anti-vibration mounts work loose or perish over time. The fan’s movement then travels into the ductwork and structure, which is where knocking and rattling often come from.
Any of these means the system needs a check-up:
- A squealing belt on start-up
- A fan that keeps cutting out
- A knocking noise from the extract fan
- A fan that won’t start at all
Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Luke's Church or elsewhere in Stone Cross, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

Extract fan repair in Stone Cross
Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. Then you’re given a fixed quote for the repair or the replacement. The work covers fan motors, bearings and belts and pulleys, and people most often call us about a fan shaking on its mountings and a knocking noise from the extract fan.
A callout to a place like Stone Cross is planned so the first visit fixes as much as possible, so pictures of the fan and its rating plate help.
The report is your 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.

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 can’t safely do is clean inside the ductwork, the fan or the risers, and that is where we come in.
Good housekeeping makes our visits easier, not unnecessary. Clean filters and tidy surfaces slow the build-up, but hidden parts of the system still need specialist attention.
Fixed quotes for extract fan repair in Stone Cross
The diagnosis comes before the price. The main factors are:
- Parking and loading at the site
- One-off work versus a regular cycle
- What state the system is in
- The size of the system
What you pay depends on the size of the system, the condition it’s in and how easy it is to reach. We give you a fixed price before any work starts, so there are no surprises.
Asking for a quote
You don’t need the technical terms. Just send:
- Detail shots of panels, filters and grilles
- Any previous report or certificate
- The times we could work without disrupting the site
- Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
We do not publish a price list, because every site is different. Instead, we look at your site first, from pictures or a survey, then send a fixed quote. To get going, ring 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form.
Part by part
Impellers and housings
Where an impeller is bent or corroded, cleaning will not help. It may be replaced on its own, or with the whole fan.
Roof and wall-mounted fans
Fans outside are exposed to rain and condensation. Corrosion of housings and fixings is common.
How it works
The first job on site is protection: sheeting goes over floors and surfaces close to the work. Then we make the system safe and start. The work on site takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault, and the area is cleaned down before we leave. In a place like Stone Cross, we fit the visit around your hours.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- We diagnose the fault, checking the controls as well as the fan.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Before we arrive
- Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down
- Find the previous report, if there is one
- Move anything stored near the system

Between visits
How long the results last depends on use and care. Here’s what we suggest:
- Keep a record of any trips or stoppages
- Do not cook with gaps in the filter bank
- Tell us about a new rattle or whine straight away
- Make sure staff know who to call if the fan fails
We run the fan and check it’s steady before we go. We explain the fault and the fix along with anything else that needs watching.
Regular TR19 cleaning includes the extract fan. Keeping grease off the impeller is one of the simplest ways to protect it and that means less wear.
Your questions about extract fan repair in Stone Cross
Who would carry out a food hygiene inspection at a kitchen in Stone Cross?
In Stone Cross, it’s Wealden council that carries out food hygiene inspections. If the extract fan has failed, it’s worth having the repair booked, and the details to hand, before an officer visits.
Do you cover smaller places like Stone Cross?
Yes, Stone Cross is part of our area, however small the site. Let us know about access, parking and anything unusual about getting there when you book.
What if our extract fan fails during service?
Our emergency line is open 24/7. Just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form at any time if the extract stops and we’ll organise an engineer.
What do you do with what you remove?
Waste is contained during the work and removed when we leave, including grease, debris and dirty water. We don’t leave it behind.
What accreditations do you have?
We hold CHAS, SafeContractor and ISO 9001, alongside BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite membership, cleaning to BESA TR19® Grease. Vent Hygiene Elite is run by BESCA and independently audited.
How much time does a fan repair need?
That depends on what’s wrong, but as a guide it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. We’ll give you a better idea once we have diagnosed it.
Does a fan repair include cleaning the ductwork?
Often it makes sense to do both. A TR19 clean covers the canopy, plenum, ductwork and fan, with a certificate and photo report.
How do you keep the site clean during the work?
We cover floors and nearby surfaces with sheeting before any work starts, and anything we remove is contained. Before we leave, we tidy up and clean down.

When it’s something else
An honest diagnosis matters more to us than a booking, so here’s what this work cannot put right:
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Faults on the gas side of an interlock system, which need a Gas Safe registered engineer
- A greasy canopy and duct that a fan repair won’t touch
Not sure which it is? You can phone us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos and we will tell you honestly.

When a fan fails in Stone Cross
Sea air reaches Stone Cross, which sits within about 3 miles of the coast. Salt air is hard on fan housings, motors and fixings on roofs and outside walls. There are about 27 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens and about 11 takeaways within about 1.5 miles of central Stone Cross, according to the Food Standards Agency’s register. Wherever they cook under a canopy, a failed extract fan stops the kitchen. Environmental health officers from Wealden council inspect food businesses in Stone Cross. Food premises are expected to have suitable and sufficient ventilation under food hygiene rules. That’s one more reason not to keep cooking with a broken fan.
School kitchens cannot easily serve lunch without extraction, so if you look after one at a school like Stone Cross School, fix a failing fan before term starts.
