Common questions in Stone

Do you work overnight in Stone?

Yes. We work evenings, overnight and at weekends. The work in Stone can fit around your hours. Just call us on 0345 646 2711, or send details by email with your opening times and we will plan around them.

Do you work in villages like Stone?

Yes. Villages and rural sites across the South East are part of our work, Stone included. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.

Who is responsible for fire safety on the premises?

That depends on who controls the premises. The Fire Safety Order 2005 puts the duty on the responsible person, which may be the employer, owner, landlord, facilities manager or managing agent.

What makes a kitchen extract fan rattle or whine?

There are several possible causes, from a worn bearing to a loose fixing. It’s worth having it diagnosed before it leads to a breakdown.

Do you survey before quoting?

Yes. Photos often do the job, while bigger or harder-to-see systems are surveyed on site.

Can one contract cover all our sites?

Yes. Our area covers London and the South East, so sites at different addresses can be planned together on one programme. Every site has its own report.

Should the fan be cleaned as well as repaired?

A fan repair on its own does not include the ductwork. We will tell you what we see, so you can decide whether to book a TR19 clean.

How much time does a fan repair need?

A typical repair takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered, including testing. We plan the work around your service wherever we can.

How we handle extract fan repair in Stone

Before anything is ordered, we diagnose. The motor, drive, impeller, bearings and mounts are all checked, along with the fan’s controls. After that, you get a fixed price for what’s needed. The work covers fan housings, bearings and fan motors, and the jobs we see most are an overheating extract motor and weak extraction and a smoky kitchen.

For a fan repair in or near Stone, the more you tell us about the fan, the better the first visit: a photo of the fan, the details on its label and the access arrangements help us plan.

For insurers and inspectors, the record counts. So every job comes with a written report and pictures, plus a TR19® certificate through the BESCA VHE portal where the work is a TR19® Grease clean.

When to call us in Stone

Blocked filters and greasy ducts make the fan work harder. An overworked motor overheats, trips out or eventually burns out.

Look out for these warning signs:

  • A fan rattling in its housing
  • A dead fan motor
  • Weak extraction and a smoky kitchen
  • An old fan that needs replacing

Fan failures around Stone don’t keep office hours, and neither does our emergency line.

What affects the quote in Stone

Every site gets its own quote. This is what makes a difference:

  • The times the site is available
  • The scale of the work
  • Parking and loading at the site
  • Whether several sites go on one quote

No two sites are the same, so each one gets its own fixed quote. Size, access, the condition of the system and when we can work all play a part.

Asking for a quote

To speed up the quote, please include:

  • Photos showing the whole system and its surroundings
  • Any symptoms, from odd noises to smells or leaks
  • Any previous report or certificate
  • Where the plant sits or the system leaves the building, such as a roof or outside wall

For extract fan repair in Stone, call us on 0345 646 2711, or email photos. Tell us what kind of premises it is and when it’s open, and send pictures or your last report if you can. A fixed quote typically follows within one working day.

What we do, step by step

We are used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so the site can open as normal afterwards. The visit itself takes anything from an hour or two to a full visit, depending on the fault. Somewhere like Stone, lanes, gates and parking are worth mentioning in advance.

  1. First, you tell us the symptoms: noise, shaking, weak extraction or no power.
  2. The fan is isolated and opened up so we can see inside.
  3. We check the motor, bearings, drive, impeller and mountings.
  4. We explain the fault and give you a fixed price for the fix.
  5. The repair or replacement is carried out and the fan is run and checked.

Getting ready for the visit

  • Agree a time when the area can be out of use
  • Mention any locked doors, roof access or ceiling voids
  • Allow time for equipment near the work to be turned off and cool down

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 photos or a survey, and then give you a fixed quote. To start, ring 0345 646 2711 or send us an email.

Related advice

Leave it or put it right?

Where the cooking gas supply is interlocked with the extract, a failed fan can stop the kitchen cooking. Even without an interlock, cooking without extraction is not sensible, so a failing fan is worth dealing with early. It’s simpler to plan the work at Stone now than to arrange it in a hurry later.

The price reflects the work, not guesswork. That is why we survey first, from pictures or on site, and the price is agreed before work begins.

What the work involves, part by part

Fan controls

Supply faults are a job for an electrician. If that is the cause, we’ll say so so you know who to call.

Direct-drive fans

An impeller coated in grease vibrates straight into the motor bearings. Sometimes a clean is all it needs as long as the bearings are still sound.

Extract fan repair around Stone

Sea air reaches Stone, which sits within about 1 mile of the coast. Motor mounts, bolts and housings on outdoor fans corrode faster close to the coast. In Stone, food businesses are inspected by environmental health officers from New Forest council. Ventilation is part of food hygiene law, which expects it to be suitable and sufficient. That makes a fan repair urgent rather than something to put off.

Occasional-use kitchens, such as a hall kitchen near St Francis or elsewhere in Stone, are where a stiff or seized fan can turn up.

What staff can safely do

For ventilation and air handling systems, in-house care is mostly about checks: keeping grilles clear, noting unusual noise or smells and logging filter changes. The inside of ducts and units needs a specialist.

When your team notices a problem between visits, such as dripping grease, a noisy fan, a smell or a filter that will not come clean, they should report it rather than try to fix it. We’ll take a look and send you a fixed quote.

Honest limits

Not every problem is solved by extract fan repair, and we will tell you before work begins. It does not solve:

  • Odour complaints that need filtration rather than a fan repair
  • Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean
  • Faults in the building’s electrical supply, which need an electrician

If you’re not sure, just give us a ring on 0345 646 2711 or use the quote form and we will give you a straight answer before you book.
