Common questions in Stone Street
Is Stone Street within the area you cover?
Yes, Stone Street is part of our area, however small the site. Just mention lanes, gates or anything else about the site when you book.
Can the work in Stone Street be done at night or at weekends?
Yes, out-of-hours work is a big part of what we do. That way a site in Stone Street does not have to lose a day’s trading. Just phone us on 0345 646 2711 or send us an email with your opening times and we will plan around them.
What if parts of the system cannot be reached?
The report shows them clearly. In ductwork, new access panels are often the answer, which we can install.
What will a fan repair or replacement cost?
We price each job after finding the cause. Repair, parts or a full replacement all cost differently so the first step is a diagnosis.
Do you survey before quoting?
Yes. For many sites, pictures and a few details are enough, and larger or hidden systems get a visit.
How long will the fan be out of action?
As a guide, it takes part of a day for most faults, with a return visit if parts have to be ordered. Where parts need ordering, we’ll explain the timescale.
Do we lose a day’s trading?
Not typically. Out-of-hours visits keep the disruption down. Larger jobs can be phased over several visits to keep things running.
What’s TR19?
TR19® is BESA’s specification for ventilation hygiene. Since 2019, TR19® Grease has been a standalone specification for grease in kitchen extract systems, and TR19® Air covers general supply and extract systems.
How we handle extract fan repair in Stone Street
Grease is hard on extract fans. Deposits on the impeller throw it out of balance, which shakes the bearings and mountings. That’s why we check the grease whenever we work on a fan and can arrange a TR19® clean of the whole system at the same time. If you are dealing with a fan running too slowly to clear the kitchen and a fan rattling in its housing, we can help, from belts and pulleys, kitchen extract fans and fan motors onwards.
Rural kitchens often have fans mounted on outside walls or roofs, exposed to the weather. Weather and grease together wear out motors and bearings.
Think of the report as the system’s health record: a dated account with photos of everything we did. Grease extract cleans are also certificated to TR19® Grease through the BESCA VHE portal, ready for your insurer.

When a fan fails in Stone Street
The FSA’s food hygiene register shows about 4 cafés, restaurants and staff canteens across Stone Street and its immediate surroundings (about a mile and a half). Every one of them that cooks under a canopy depends on its extract fan to keep cooking. Stone Street is about 22 miles from central London, well within the area we cover across London and the South East. Evening, overnight and weekend visits are all possible. Food hygiene inspections in Stone Street are the job of Tonbridge and Malling council’s environmental health team. Food hygiene rules expect food premises to have suitable and sufficient ventilation. Getting the fan running again is the priority.
If you run a church or community hall kitchen, near St Lawrence or elsewhere in Stone Street, an extract fan that rarely runs can seize or fail when it’s needed.
Stone Street is about 3 miles east of Sevenoaks, in Kent.

Aftercare tips
Once we have finished, these simple steps help:
- Save our number for the 24/7 emergency line
- Keep the grease filters clean and fitted
- Keep access to the fan controls unobstructed
- Do not wait for a noisy fan to stop
Listen to the fan over the next few weeks. If anything changes, let us know, so it can be looked at before it grows.
The fan is part of every full TR19 clean. A clean impeller stays in balance and that means less wear.
In-house cleaning or a specialist?
Logging matters as much as cleaning. A simple log of filter washes, wipe-downs and checks shows an inspector that the system is looked after between visits, alongside our reports.
Your own staff can handle the daily basics: wiping canopies, washing grease filters and recording it in a log. Inside the ducts, risers and fan is specialist work, which is where we come in.
Honest limits
Extract fan repair can’t fix everything, and we’d rather say so up front. It doesn’t solve:
- Smells from the discharge that need odour control equipment
- An extract system that was undersized from the start
- Grease throughout the ductwork, which needs a full TR19 clean

- Belts and pulleys
Leave it or put it right?
Fan noise tends to get worse, not better. Worn bearings can seize without much warning, and that often happens mid-service. A repair booked now is simpler than an emergency later. Out of sight is the usual reason a rural system goes too long without attention.
The cost depends on how big the system is, what state it’s in and how easy it is to reach. You get a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises.
Why us?
- Survey first, then a fixed quote
- A fixed price before any work starts
- Photo reports with every job
- Work around your opening hours, with 24/7 emergency cover

What happens on the day
We’re used to working while the site is closed. A lot of visits happen overnight or at weekends, so a kitchen or building can carry on as usual the next day. On site, the work takes an hour or two to diagnose, then longer if parts or a new fan are needed. The timing of a visit to Stone Street is set by you, and the travel is our side of the planning.
- You describe the fault and we arrange a visit.
- On site, the fan is safely isolated.
- The fan and its controls are checked to pin down the fault.
- A fixed quote for the repair or replacement follows.
- The work is done and the fan is tested running.
Getting ready for the visit
- Let us know about permits to work or site inductions
- Clear loose items from the work area
- Make sure someone can let us in and lock up afterwards

Advice
Do you need extract fan repair in Stone Street?
Kitchen extract fans in Stone Street face the same conditions as anywhere else: heat, grease, steam and long running hours. Moisture can rust housings and fixings and eventually any fan simply wears out.
Clients normally contact us after spotting one of these:
- An extract that vibrates through the ductwork
- A whining or grinding extract motor
- A squealing belt on start-up
- An extract fan that rattles or knocks
If you manage a school such as St Lawrence Church of England Primary School and the kitchen fan is getting louder, the next break is the time to deal with it.
Questions to ask before you book
- When the next visit should be, and why
- If they look at the system before pricing
- Whether the price is fixed
- Their accreditations, such as BESCA Vent Hygiene Elite, CHAS or SafeContractor
Part by part
Motors and bearings
Rumbling and grinding typically come from the bearings. We diagnose whether it’s the bearings or the motor itself and then recommend the fix.
Belt-driven fans
A squeal when the fan starts is a classic belt symptom. We check the belt condition, tension and alignment and replaced if they’re worn.
